Stave Off Depression With Blog Plugin Maintenance

By crooky | July 15, 2008

I was starting to get kind of bummed out about my readership levels. About a month ago, it looked like my readership took a nose dive. At the same time, the amount of spam comments I was getting on my posts skyrocketed. I kept writing but I was starting to lose my motivation. Just today, I discovered that when I upgraded my wordpress version last month, it deactivated all of my plugins - killing my ability to track visitors to my blog and to screen out viagra spam posts.

Let that be a lesson to anyone who has a blog - make sure you know if your plugins are working or not. Don’t just look at the output (successful postings and Analytics) to know what’s going on with your website.
