This post was supposed to be titled All My Loving and announce the adoption of the CommentLuv plugin. In combination with my very own KeywordLuv plugin, I would have indeed been giving you all my loving. Unfortunately, I had a problem with CommentLuv and have deactivated it. For now…

Many bloggers have a blogroll to give some link love to the blogs they read regularly. I don’t - yet. I’m planning to create one and display 5 random links in my sidebar, but for the moment, here is a list of the blogs I read. (more…)

Over the past six months, my feed reading habits have evolved. I used to read summary feeds in a desktop reader, but I’ve moved towards the more common model of reading full post feeds in a web based reader.

I have just released a new WordPress plugin called DualFeeds, which allows you to offer your readers both full post and summary feeds.

WordPress only allows you to offer your readers one format. The problem is that some people prefer to have the full post to read now, while others prefer to have summaries they can skim through now and follow up later.

DualFeeds allows your subscribers to choose the format that suits them.

Content, content, content! There is so much content flowing around the Internet, that it’s impossible to keep up with it all. I want to read the latest news, sports, blogs, development info, etc, but I have no time to visit hundreds of sites. How do I manage? The answer: RSS. (more…)
