Allen Day’s Blog

I was looking for a plugin to count unique views per post and found Lester Chan’s bunch of Wordpress plugins. I’ll be adding some of these shortly.

One of the most viewed posts on this blog is one of my first: A review of Costco stainless steel cookware. Would you have guessed that? I wonder if it’s highly rated… we’ll find out.

I’m still surprised it’s my #1 post. Perhaps it’s more evidence that I should be posting more non-technical stuff, and some kind of argument against making a super-niche blog.

I wanted to configure Wordpress pinging for the Facebook Flog Blog application. For some reason the feed on my profile page isn’t updating, and I thought maybe this would do the trick.

Took a bit of digging, but I found a guide at Technorati. Hint: “options” has been (moved and) renamed as “settings” as late as Wordpress 5.2.1.

Let’s see if it works!

Update: just by visiting the Flog Blog settings page, I have somehow managed to get Flog Blog to update. Hmm…

The autosave feature has been giving me a lot of trouble since upgrading to Wordpress 2.5.1. I found this post on the topic of disabling autosave. Moonlight gets it mostly right, having identified the causal line

wp_enqueue_script('autosave')

. I just had to comment that out in all the files under wp-admin and everything works again.
