Don’t you love automated tools :)

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 220,000 times in 2011. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 9 days for that many people to see it.

WordPress › Support » WordPress is inserting div tags

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/10/03

I just reproduced this: WordPress › Support » WordPress is inserting div tags.

  1. Start an unordered or ordered list
  2. Type entries
  3. After the last entry, press Enter twice
  4. Then type a few lines of text with Enter as separators
Those lines of text will have
DIV tags in between them
Just like this post.

WordPress: New Twitter “Tweet Button” for your readers

Posted by jpluimers on 2010/08/27

Now your readers can have an easy way to tweet about your blog postings too: New Twitter “Tweet Button”.

From the post by Andy P (wordpress team):

New Twitter “Tweet Button”




When one of your readers hits the Tweet Button, they will be shown a popup that includes a shortened link to your post. Readers can add in a quick message, and then hit “Tweet” to send the post to their Twitter feed as a tweet — all without leaving your blog.

To enable the button on your blog please visit the “Appearance > Extras” menu and select the “Show a Twitter Tweet Button on my posts” option.

Edit: 20100901:

The WordPress team has moved the Twitter Tweet button into Settings > Sharing. In addition to that, they added sharing mechanisms for FaceBook, Press This, Reddit, Digg, StumbleUpon, Email and Print.
In addition to those, you can define your own sharing methods.
You can read more about this move here.
