WordPress Hack, WordPress Plugins

Feedburner Feed Stats is a simple plugin that I put together with the ideas (and some of the code) from an article that I was reading yesterday for a WordPress hack of sorts. The idea is good and the code is simple. Since a lot of people like the subscriber statistics offered by Feedburner but want to continue to offer feeds directly through WordPress, if there was a way to pass on every feed request made to WordPress transparently onto Feedburner, Feedburner would be able to gather subscription data. 45n5 came up with the concept and some of the code for the WordPress hack. I took some of that code, some more code from transparent proxy scripts, added a smattering of more code on suggestions from Eric Lunt along with the plugin framework that was already built by Steve Smith and am ready to alpha test my version of the […]

34 Reasons Why Readers Unsubscribe from Your Blog: Darren had asked the question, Why do readers unsubscribe from your blog’s feed? and he tabulated the answers in the comments. Much of the answers are unsurprising but the top two reasons are too many posts and too few posts respectively. So the answer there might be to post just enough entries to keep people coming back and just few enough to keep from overwhelming them. I have found proof of that hypothesis in that the daily updates of plugins and themes on weblogtoolscollection.com works best in single consolidated posts. Other important factors included off topic posts, partial feeds and finally good content. I love Scoble’s comment on that post. There is a lot to be said for “do what you love, put stuff up you’d love to read, and the rest will fall into place.”
