Personal and Meta Notes
11:42 am February 2nd, 2007 by Sal Cangeloso
In a few hours I will be going on a short vacation, so I am just wrapping things up before I go. Just the normal stuff- cleaning my inbox, sending out a few emails, finishing my RSS reading, and that sort of stuff. I’ll try to post but I just decided not to bring my laptop with me so my access will be limited. I will be rocking a Nokia N800 so hopefully that will be enough to get the job done.
If you get bored because of the lack of posts, perhaps you may want to go through the blog’s greatest hits or the archives.
I should be back Friday or Saturday…
Meta
Just a quick update- Arghyle has been going quite well. It is a personal blog and makes no money so I did not expect or shoot for explosive growth, but I have been happy with the results. There have been no real big links in, almost one story almost got on Digg, but there have been some very cool links, including from Scoble’s link blog. There have not been many comments which is disappointing, but these should come with increase readership.
I have been tracking the stats every few days with Feedburner, but just started using Reinvigorate.net’s beta for more indepth stats. I am not sure if I am going to stick with this or move to Google, or even have any stats at all (Feedburner is really enough for me at this point) . I just really like to keep an eye on the number of subscribers and what stories are getting the most attention.
As far as hosting in concerned, it’s been great. Media Temple’s Grid has improved dramatically, as I knew it would, and I am glad I was an early adopter and gave it a chance to catch up to people’s interest in it. For $20 a month, it is a solid deal.
