Satollo.net Is Running Newsletter 2.0.0

Stefano — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 15:15:01 +0000

I have tested Newsletter on two sites for 1 month, now it’s enough stable to try it on this blog. I know that recently subscription on this was was problematic, but know all is right (I hope…).

Newsletter Version 1.5.7

Stefano — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 15:02:02 +0000

Fixed (I hope) the editors access.

Newsletter 2.0.0 Beta 1

Stefano — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:03:09 +0000

For who wants to try it, I’ve just added the beta version of Newsletter 2.0.0 on download area. Version 2.0.0 has been widely rewritten to:

simplify the admin interface
add email archive
add List-Unsubscribe header
be more stable
add translation capability to almost every panel of the free version

This version is a main step for version 2.0.0 of Newsletter Extras, which will provide:

feed by mail (like feed burner but themed)
followup
better interface
rewritten batch delivery system

Pay attention, update to version 2.0.0 cannot be rolled back. For Extras 1.x owners DO NOT UPDATE to that beta version, you’ll receive an email when all is ready to be used.

I’m Here Even If It Seems Not

My regular job is absorbing all my time. As many of you already know, I moderate all comments and I try to respond to anyone (via comment or direct email). So, be patient.

The time I’m saving not reading all comments is used to develop version 2 of Newssletter.

Newsletter Version 1.5.4

Stefano — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:48:38 +0000

Some people reporting that version 1.5.3 and may be 1.5.2 stop to work, or better the configuration panels do not show. I think is a problem of PHP configuration or version, so I made a new version with some modifications that may be the solution to that issue.

Try to update and hope…

Newsletter Version 1.5.2

Stefano — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 13:46:20 +0000

This new version is only a maintenance release with some layout changes and a more complete internationalization code (for who wants to translate using a .pot file).

Google Search Engine Quality Worse Than Ever

Stefano — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:00:59 +0000

Google claims to work hardly on it’s search engine quality. It cares to not list dangerous sites, spam sites, sites without relevant content.

But it’s really true?

I follow a number of blogs, with really different topics, because I’m the owner or the maintainer. They are real blog, with real people behind that write real articles. Thay rank discretely well, they have an interesting traffic level an loyalty.

But, in Italy, there are a number of site networks build upon copy and paste of other blog feeds. They don’t ask permission to republish the whole or part of other feed, they simply take two or three rows of text, copy the title and the url keywords.

Those “blogs” are full filled of AdSense. Not only: they rank on Google Search Egnine BETTER than the original sites.

This is not a news. They are months I find and try to contrast such situation. Do Google Italy is more tolerant than Google US? Or those sites hits a Google hole?

One of those site is: www . mp3-blog . it

Share Your Personal Experience With Newsletter Plugin

Stefano — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 06:32:11 +0000

I see from WordPress statistics page that my Newsletter plugin has many downloads per day. So I’m asking myself “what user think about thast plugin? Do they install and remove or them trying to use it?”

Would you share your positive or negative experience with Newsletter plugin? Are you using it or have you removed it and why?

Ok, let’s start with comments!

Hyper Cache Version 2.6.6

Stefano — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 17:08:26 +0000

This version is an attempt to find ad give advice to poeple who have some blog folder not writeable and deny Hyper Cache to save options.

This version does not solve the problem (that cannot be solved) but tries to make tests and print error messages.
