Site Updates
Yesterday, a friend asked something about MT and mentioned that he had been checking the MT forums. I figured I had not read them for a while so I was browsing and came across some notes (sorry lost the attribution) about using includes. I already had one include but was not aware that I could embed them in individual sections (e.g. the whole links section in the sidebar is now an include as is the RSS feed section near the bottom). One thing led to another and I found a reference to page/comment/ping counting. One thing led to another and I found that someone had in fact solved the ping part already.
This then led to another thing (isn't it always like that with computers) because the same author distracted me with some more cool modules including MTCountdown so that I now have not only counters but a blog age calculator as well (see bottom right).
Next for the stats. I already use awstats internally but I have no intention of releasing that to the general public. What I wanted was more like a popularity poll (and this might be a way to do it). I also want to do inlining of the trackback pings like this site because that will provide an "instant link" for the blog economy counters (see this article for more comments about it).
