Thanks for the info, i will try cform as my next step to perfect my blog.
Yes, C Forms works. And an every blog needs it.
Statpress hasn’t been updated since Feb 2009, and is not compatible with the latest wordpress (2.8)
Wassup and CyStats are good alternatives.
I think you are completely wrong. Though it is not updated since Feb 2009 and its site tells it is compatible till WordPress 2.7 it does not specify that it does not work with WordPress 2.8. I can say this with guarantee. I myself use that plugin and it works.
Hey, I really enjoy reading your articles! I’ve been upgrading my blog with your tips. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment. I am very happy that my tips are coming in use for all of you.
I’m going to try Login Lockdown…sounds like something WP should have by default!
Wordpress must have had it by default. I think this feature should have been introduced in WordPress 2.9. But it wasn’t. Anyways, we can use Login Lockdown plugin until such feature is introduced.
I am using All In One Seo Pack, Google XML Sitemaps Generator and Login Lockdown. For tracking visitors i am using Wassup.. Which one is better, Wassup or StatPress??
I use both of them…! They work pretty good together. But StatPress has more features than Wassup.
Very well written.
Thanks mate!
