Choose 10 blogs. Or more.

I’ve been reading Ken Leebow’s Blogging about Incredible Blogs for some time now. Sometimes I agree to what he writes, sometimes I don’t. Today I don’t.

Few days ago he wrote this post, in which he says:

You really only need to read ten blogs. It’s the 80/20 Rule: You’ll get 80% of your information from those ten.

I don’t agree.

Adsense Logger plugin for WordPress

Adsense Logger is an open source PHP script that helps website owners to optimize Google Adsense for their sites. I just found out about it today and realized that I wanted something like this for a long time, but never took the time to find it.

Apparently, there is an excellent plugin for WordPress that automatically installs and configures Adsense Logger to work with WordPress. Simply copy the files from the ZIP archive and assign correct permissions. TADA! You’re done. If you wish to see your Google reports within your WordPress administration area, enter your username and password in the plugin configuration page.

I’ve just installed and tried it and looks really good. Now all I am missing are those ad clicks (hint, hint, hint).

Calendaring issues solved with AirSet

I’ve been looking for a tool to do shared calendaring for some time now. I went through manual editing of text files, ical, Korganizer, RSSCalendar.com and some other tools that I don’t remember anymore. None of these provided all the functionality and comfort that I needed. So, I used neither one of them.

Today, I finally came across a tool that looks very promising. One of the comments to this post in Alexandra Samuel blog suggested AirSet.

I tried it and it was love from the first sight! AirSet provides a free online service for managing and sharing of calendars, contact lists, and web links. It features flexible access control facilities with user and group management. Sharing of information can be neatly controlled and can be utilized either via RSS feeds or via AirSet web service.

I liked it so much that I immediately registered and created my public calendar. Check the “Calendar” link at the navigation bar at the top of the page. There you will find my public calendar and a link to the RSS feed with items for the next 30 days.

I foresee a lot of popularity for AirSet in the near future. Congratulations to the development team for a really nice service. Let’s see how stable it is.
