Google Analytics Plugin
This plugin is loaded with all kinds of features that can give you the stats on your blog in at least twenty different ways. As good as this plugin is, it isn’t without its problems. First of all, it took about a week for the plugin to kick in and start culling the data on my various blogs.
Then I read a comment in one of my readers’ blogs who said that this blog was running slow. If that wasn’t enough, he couldn’t post a comment last weekend. I had no idea why until another blogger who told me that he was having similar problems with his blogs. I’ve since disabled the plugin.
While it provides excellent data for WBA, it’s overkill on my personal blog. Hopefully this will solve the speed and commenting problems.

Hmmm…I just installed analytics on my whole site. It’s still working the data around. I’m not sure if the comments are being affected though.

I’ll stop by later to give it a test for you.

Oh good, because I was sure there were two comments I left on two different posts that never showed up.
Maybe you just delete my comments one at a time???

Now, I’m wondering how many people tried to leave a comment over the past few weeks but couldn’t get through. If only I had this problem with the spammers. They always seem to get through.

I use spam quiz, and that has stopped all the comment spam recently.
At least you found the problem. They’ll make an update version soon, maybe that’ll work.

I hope so because I liked looking at the stats for my sites at different angles.

Thanks for being the guinea pig on this one ;)I will have to avoid that plug in.

No problem, Fred. This plugin was fun while it lasted.

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone could help. I did something stupid and started my blog using a numerical archive system, and now I'd like to change it so that the post title is part of the URL for SEO reasons. Is there any Wordpress plugins that anyone knows of that could switch it without sending Googlers to invalid pages? Maybe some sort of redirector to the correct page?
Thanks.

What I want to do on my blog, is every few hours take the oldest post and move it to the
front of the queue, all automatically. Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or
a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)?
Thanks.

Go through the WordPress Plugins list and find the plugin for the “sticky post.” I can’t remember the name, but it allows you to stick an old post at the very top of your blog.
