Today I came across this software – TrackBoost.
The first deterrant to looking into this further was the fact that the website only had a video and hardly any content about the software. My speakers are not working at the moment and I find using my headphones to be a pain. However, I put them on unwillingly as I wanted to get more information.
If you are like me and don’t want to be forced to watch videos, here is a lowdown of what the software is about and what I liked and disliked about the product.
What It Does
The software links to your Wordpress database. According to the website:
TrackBoost is made for self-hosted Wordpress blogs, but will work with any blogging system that supports the MetaWebLog API

I finally upgraded to Wordpress 2.6.
I first installed it locally to test it out and make sure that nothing was broken and the website was showing up fine. Good idea on my part.
Turns out there was a permalinks issue.
Everything was totally mucked up. I couldn’t get the post pages to load. I was getting tagged headings on category pages and the rest were just giving a page not found error. Oops!
Am I glad I didn’t directly upgrade live!
But there is good news.

This can either be a very useful or a very dangerous trick depending on how it is used or abused.
I found this little tip at: FiddyP (it’s a really cool blog btw).
It only works in Firefix and boy does it work!
If you have a stored password that you can’t remember and all you can see are asteriks, just add this line to the address bar:
javascript:var els = document.getElementsByTagName('input'); for(var x=0; x<els.length; x++){ if(els[x].type.toLowerCase() == 'password' ){ var test = els[x].type = 'text';}}
Press enter and wait to be pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised to see your password staring back at you.

Is Google Experimental going to change our Google search rankings forever and further more?
Apparently Google is experimenting with enhancing search results. The first experiment deals with ‘Alternate views for search results‘. This includes the list view (current option), info view, time line view and map view.
Now the interesting thing to note here is that each view gives different results. So although you might have worked hard to get your web pages to the top 10 in the current Google scenario (list view), you might find your listing missing in the three new proposed views.
Just imagine if Google were to introduce these as actual search options. The face of Google SEO will not be the same. It will be better for some, worse for others. May be nothing new about this but it is going to cause some upheaval and shifts in results depending on what view gets to be more popular.

I’m still figuring this one out, folks. Personally, I am the laziest person when it comes to writing. Designing I can do all day long but writing … that is a completely different story.
So how do I motivate myself to keep at it?
- Get Motivated By Others
When I am really out of it and I don’t feel like writing at all, I go and read blogs at random. Not only does that give me ideas and get my creative juices flowing, it gives me the extra push I need. After all if so many people can keep blogging day after day then so can I.

Look at my RSS Subscriptions
Alright so the current number isn’t exactly anything to write home about. But I like to see numbers go up (who doesn’t 
). So every time I make a post, there are chances of that number going up. (Psst you can help … go subscribe up there). Anyway that gives me a little push sometimes.

Sticky Posts
There is no option to make a post sticky when you add it. However, once you have added a topic, click to view it. Then browse right down. You will see a link ‘Stick Topic (to front)’
If your click STICK TOPIC, this topic will become a sticky in its respective forum. However, if you click TO FRONT, it will stick to the front page Latest Discussions list. One downside of this being, the topic is no longer shown in its respective forum. It is still counted there but no longer viewable from within the forum.
What purpose can this serve? Well for one you can use this to add General Forum Rules that you might not want appearing in any of the forums but visible on the front page. Any announcements can also be added here.
Favorites
How this works is you can add a post to your favorites. There is the option of subscribing to your favorites RSS feed so you can receive the latest posting in your favorite topics.
