Here at WeblogToolsCollection, we try to put aside Sunday as Blog Vacation Day. Of course, I am violating that theory by writing this post but for the most part, we set aside Sunday to put our house in order. We clean posts, trim and manage comments and spam, play with the code and plugins, mess with the ads, reply to emails, formulate weekly posts, plan out the rest of the week and generally just post nothing on the live blog. That gives us a reason to come back on Monday and start afresh and I believe it really helps. Do you have a Blog Vacation Day? If so, which one and why?

MyBlogLog is a good tool. I use it not quite everyday, but often enough to see how many readers are in the WeblogToolsCollection Community and who is visiting the blog. I would like to have regular up to date click through information (and ad click though information, that is a very cool feature, BTW) but since I do not pay for it, I get stale data. Stale data is useful but in a “meh, shrug” sort of way. However, I have been bothered by one aspect of MyBlogLog that I have not been able to shrug off. R rated avatars. I thought I had read somewhere that MyBlogLog would watch out for these and filter them out but I have seen them become more and more popular, especially among the marketing crowd. I have no right to be, nor any qualification to be moral police. But since I cannot police […]
