WPWeekly Episode 45 – Unlucky Stream

While last months Friday the 13th date proved to be uneventful, the same can not be said for this months version. Last night, for the second week in a row, the live stream on Talkshoe.com as well as the SIP portion of their phone bridge went offline during the recording of WordPress Weekly. It eventually came back up only to go down again. I’m currently in the process of writing a support email to both a Talkshoe support representative that I know and also their Get Satisfaction page. I’m starting to worry if whether or not I should do next weeks show by cell phone to insure that my audio does not drop out of the interview. At this point, I am still not convinced that I should move the show to a new platform or do the show a different way than I currently do. However, if this continues to impact the show like it has for the past two weeks, Talkshoe will leave me no choice but to find something better, although it will be tough to do so.

Plugin Review: WP125

WP125 is a WordPress plugin to help monetize blogs by allowing the blogger to insert 125×125 pixel banners. Created by Matt Harzewski, this is an alternative to outside banner ad php scripts as it allows WordPress to manage the work, meaning less passwords to remember and administration links to use.
