I don't! Times are hard. We're in a credit crunch, spiralling to recession. Apparently.

WP-o-Matic makes autoblogging a easy by automatically creating posts from the RSS/Atom feeds you give it. Unfortunately, the latest release doesn't work very well, by itself or on WordPress 2.5. Watch out for my post on fixing WordPress 2.5 issues.

Composers.net - an i9000 Networks project that hosts a fantastic selection of community submitted content on musical composers has risen from Page Rank 4 to Page Rank 5. Also, Google is returning it as the 5th result when searching for composers. Nice!

Page Rank 4!

New domains

I've just managed to snap up two super new domain names, can't believe they haven't been registered already, www.wordpressexperts.co.uk and www.cubecartexperts.co.uk. Especially the WordPress one. I'll no doubt be using them as landing pages for some future SEO campaigns and advertising for i9000.

WordPress 2.5 Upgrade

Posted on March 31, 2008

Posted by Kieran

This morning I upgraded to the latest WordPress 2.5, along with, perhaps, 500,000 other people...

and I'm liking it! Visitors probably won't notice a thing on the front-end, but the administration area is where WordPress 2.5 really stands out.

The upgrade was amazingly easy, I just extracted all the new files, ran upgrade.php and it was all done - perhaps 20 seconds worth of work? Kudos to the developers.

I won't go on about the new features, 250,000 other people have already told you, just wanted to say how impressed I am with it!

Page Rank Updates

Posted on February 29, 2008

Posted by Kieran

Looks like Google have updated their Page Rank recently. My index page has increased from PR0 to PR3!
Its been a mixed bag,my ADODB Documentation Library has increased to PR4 from nothing and my company's site i9000 Networks has increased from PR2 to PR4. Yet a few sites in the network have reduced, several PR5s have dropped to PR2.

Anyway, I'm happy, I'm PR3, which is the same as John Chow now.
