whos.amung.us Web Stats got a Whole New Look!

Friday, September 19th, 2008

If you glance over the sidebar, you will see a yellow color small widget with a number on it. Check below i have put the same tiny widget here.

web tracker

The number on that widget is the number of visitors/readers currently on this site.

It is a great widget. I have been using it since December 2007.

What is who.amung.us?

whos.amung.us was created to bring you innovative web stats. We are not traditional. Page views are too easy to count. Instead, our widgets tell you how many users are on your website or blog right now, what pages they are on, how many of them there has been in the past, and where they come from – live.

I had already mentioned about this widget Who’s on your Site – Find on World Map in Real time. If you are new to this widget then i suggest you check the above mentioned post. It shows how to who.amung.us widget for your own website or blog.

Let me now focus on the main topic. Some 14 hours back i think Amung.us has updated the whole look of the website. Below is the screenshot of who.amung.us web stats of this website.

If you check my previous post that i mentioned above and compare the image above, you can see that the whole look has changed.

Broken Links Remover – A must Wordpress Plugin

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Today, I will show you a very useful wordpress plugin that i discovered recently.

The name of this Wordpress plugin is Broken links Remover. Rajesh from TechBlissOnline has developed this great plugin. If you like this plugin you can vote for the plugin in the wordpress 2008 competition here

Broken Links Remover checks your posts for broken links. If it finds one then it will make that link as normal text so that your readers will not see any dead links.

This plugin will help keep your site clean by hiding all bad/broken links. As soon as it finds a bad or broken link, it will notify the link with appropriate post under Manage -> Bad Links Wordpress admin page. You can check below the snapshot of my blog, there are 5 pages of bad links. I have to go through all and correct it :(

Gears for Safari is now officially available

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

For all savvy mac users… Google has released Gears for Safari Browser.

Gears for Safari!

Gears for Safari!

To use Gears, you must have version 3.1.1 or higher of Safari along with a machine running the most recent build of OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or 10.5.3 (Leopard).

It offers the same offline-goodness as its Windows counterpart, which is to say you’ll get limited offline file access and optimization on the handful of Web applications that support it.

The bad news is Gears is still not available for Windows version of Safari.

It is good news for all Mac users who blog on Wordpress platform because Google gears is supported by Wordpress.

Download Gears for Safari
