This is one that goes around every now and again! A pretty old thing but I decided today to check how much my blog was worth the result?
My blog is worth $5,645.40.
Now of course that’s really nothing, even though I’d take a trade in option! 
For Example:
Alexia’s blog is worth $18,629.82.
Getting bigger:
Ken’s blog is worth $57,018.54.
Getting crazy big,
Tom’s blog is worth $205,492.56.
And another little jump;
Damien’s blog is worth $208,315.26.
How much is your blog worth? I feel like giving a bit of link love today, so IRISH BLOGGERS ONLY add a comment with the website link of your comment filled out and I’ll add you too this list. We could even have as much fun to see how much the entire Irish Blogosphere is worth! 
Post Powered by How Much is your blog worth!

Well its happened! I finally got around to moving the blog out of the /blog directory and up onto just /.
I probably did it the most messed up way, first trying to just move the blog folder itself and then when that didn’t work doing a clean install! But its here and thats all that matters! Lets just say thank god for backups! Mint is still working perfectly!
Also, I have now installed a plugin on the old blog that redirects all the traffic here, what makes this better than just doing a PHP redirect? Well the fact that if someone goes to a certain article they get brought to the certain article here. Instead of just the main page and having to search for what they were looking for originally! This is accomplished via the .htaccess file. The plugin is called “Moving Your Blog” and can be located here.
Note: Both websites permalink structures have to be the same!

Ok so the auto-plugin for Feedburner to handle my feeds didn’t work, but no worries, I remember back when that plugin didn’t have to exist and doing it manually anyway so I went and did it manually! Feedburner is now handling all my feeds and I’d be much appreciated if you re-subscribed via Feedburner! For those of you that haven’t subscribed maybe todays the day? Just click the little RSS box up in the address bar if your using firefox, or you can scroll to the bottom of the page and click RSS Entries!
On other news, I’ve started using BlogExplosion again to get some traffic onto the blog! It would be nice to see more people commenting and what not, and I’m also going to start posting posts that are more commentable, a more audience kind of feel! To get everyone invloved! Well, at least thats the plan!

Well i’ve finally bit the bullet and installed Google Analytics. I’ve been putting it off for a while simply because I really hate looking at my stats and seeing them super low! But I think now from tommorrow on I might start promoting the blog a little more to increase readers, I have also GOT to switch my feeds over to feedburner! Its a definate must! Might look at that in a few minutes, I probably will only check the stats once or twice a month, though they do get quiet addictive. I remember on The Technology Blog at its peak having fifty different people come to the blog one day was just insane. So lets try beat that record!
I’m using the Google Analytic plugin for Wordpress found here

I always follow the Irish Blog Awards, every year.. Its just something I tend to do, I always vote also. Therefore I was emensly happy to see this blog mentioned on their blog as a "New Blog on the Block" infact, emensly happy probably doesn’t cover it! I was thrilled. Its the first time I’ve had a post about a blog i’ve had! Hopefully there will be more in future but only time will tell!

Okay, I’ve decided I’m going to just make a post here of all my plugins I’m using, instead of 10 different posts for each one!
Firstly, my little spam fighters are:
Akismet and Did You Pass Math?
Then on the add-ons I have
Dean’s FCKEditor For Wordpress,
This is a great attachment I think anyway, I love FCKEditor and I really am more used to it than wordpress’s default editor. I also rather the lots of extra features, half of which I probably won’t use but they look pretty hey!
Extended Live Archives
This plugin isn’t yet really working how I want it, but I just need to re-style it and I will be happy. It provides and Ajax-based archive which is very handy for finding posts fast!
Twitter Tools
I was originally using this to update Twitter when I made a blog post, but I find that too annoying, I don’t really know why! So at the moment this is just making a post itself per day of my daily Twits! Show off twitter to my readers I guess 
Disable WordPress Widgets
I’m using this plugin because I am using the k2 theme. And the k2 sidebar modules are a hell of alot better than the wordpress widgets!

K2 have released a new version of their theme which actually has the Wordpress 2.2 fix! [Thank god..] Amazing how fast they were to come up with a solution for that! Really shows that they are tuned into their theme, not just sitting around doing nothing! Anyway.. on to more updating!

Just updated the blog to 2.2 there, I was running on 2.0 up until now! [My bad..] Didn’t backup the database or anything but everything went well.. However K2 doesn’t seem to be compatiable with 2.2.. Crazy… So I’m on the default theme for the moment! Also got Akismet setup now!

So the main website is just redirecting to here now. I think I’m going to do a complete redesign now and maybe have the first three blog entry’s as the index page. I really would like to intergrate the whole website into the blog here. But not as in use wordpress as a CMS but just to actually have perfect intergration between the main website and the blog, I want to extend the wordpress user system to the website aswell.. So after I sleep now, I’ll see how it goes later!
