WordPress Upgrade
Well, I got a little behind on WordPress upgrades and ran into some major problems. I missed the upgrade to WP 2.3.2. My template was hacked with a bunch of spam links.
Well, I have gotten the upgrade in place for WP 2.3.3 and cleaned my template of spam. Hopefully everything will be running smoothly from here.
Make sure that you are up to date with the most recent version of WordPress.

So here is a way to directly place a Digg counter/link neatly aligned in your blog posts using CSS.

New ClickBank WordPress plugin prerelease
This is the new WordPress plugin for ClickBank users. It allows you to mask or cloak your affiliate links to prevent link hijacking. This is the “prerelease” in that I wanted to get it out and posted, but I haven’t completed the readme file (and a Quick Start Guide).
