Word 2007 allows to write a blog post and I thought I must try

• I used Windows Live Writer to add this comment

Hey,
This plugin seems to do exactly what I am looking for, enable users to write code in comments.
Preserve Code Formatting

Please test here and give feedback

Warning: this changed the behavior of old posts too, so I have to reformat all older posts to no longer use < in code

I have decided to remove disqus comments. What I considered to be a bonus, that is CODE POSTING, appears to be worst than before, because the PRE tag does not work.

The main reason I switched back to last week behavior is that the COMMENT FEED does not work any longer. And I hate changes that annoy my readers.

I will keep looking for a comment plugins that allow posting of code

I just replaced the default wordpress comments by Disqus comments. Disqus enable you to track your comments add picture and other fancy staff.

I have been looking for such a plugin for a very long time (and was too foul to develop it myself).

The amazing bonus with Disqus is that you can post code! Your x<1 will be code in code, not a pseudo html tag annoying more than one of my fellow reader.

Feel free to test it on this post.

Thanks to Yas for making me discover this on : Oracle Today

I hope I will not have have to many issues with this new plugin! Feedback welcome

Inspired by How Much Is My Blog Worth?

• My old blog, laurentschneider.blogspot.com, is worth $14,678.04

• My new blog, laurentschneider.com, is worth $564.54

This is all the pain by changing domain, bye bye top position in google, bye bye backlinks…

My old blog is still active, and I hope to get equivalent ranking until end of 2007. I think it was a smart move, I have now more freedom to customize my site with any content, to edit my feed, my pages, my pictures, etc. I wish I had done it before

You surely have not missed the “Amazing November 2006 Blog Catastrophe” of Mark Rittman.

I use blogger and by typing “backup blogger” in google, I found : answer=41447

It let you change the formatting of your blog to have all your posts (max 999) and all your comments in one page. If you do not have your own ISP but use blogspot.com, then it will replace your blog by this not-fancy page. But just for the time to save it on your local disk and then you restore your template. Surely less than 5 minutes , unless you surf with a 100 bps or 480 bps underwater accoustic modem like this one :

I have now a dump of my blog. The size of the html file is 440k right now.

This is a goodie : you can monitor comments on a blog article. Then all the new comments can be sent by mail or RSS feed.

Check http://co.mments.com, you can then add a button to your browser to monitor an article for comments

Do not switch to blogger beta. It failed, and everything is corrupted on my page, I cannot fix it yet (this message will probably only be readable as feed). Take care!

I am aware indian and pakistan ISP did block access to blogspot blogs. There are some workaround available on google, for example to access my site from Pakistan, you may be able to use pkblogs

I am quite sad about this, I used to have a lot of access from India in the past (according to statcounter.com), and this is quite a limiting move for the indian Internet community.

Update: only relevant to my old blogger blog
