Those Sneaky Bastard Spammers!

October 10, 2007

Lately I’ve noticed some sneaky bastard(s) Spammer has been posing as regular commentors and trying to post comments with their names, but using an alternate URL. A couple of you have noticed and caught this as well, and I would encourage everyone to help me keep an eye out for this kind of thing in [...]

MASSIVE OMB Update Complete!

October 9, 2007

This evening I embarked on a major journey to upgrade the WordPress installation that One Man’s Blog was running on to the latest version. This was a very big deal because it involved skipping two entire releases. We went from version 2.0 to 2.3 (never even touched 2.1 or 2.2). I’m pleased to report that [...]

No More Ads for Regular Readers of OMB!

October 8, 2007

All of my regular readers need to be giving thanks to Donncha Almighty for creating the new Friends Don’t Let Friends See Adverts plugin! Donncha told me how he was selectively filtering ads so that he didn’t show them to his regular readers, and I was so intrigued I kept asking him how to do [...]

Notice Anything New About Subscriptions?

September 20, 2007

So, did anyone notice that I turned on the full feed for RSS and e-mail subscriptions? Now you see the entire article in your e-mail or RSS reader. I’d love to hear feedback about this change because I honestly don’t know if you guys wanted that or not. I’ve been told by some people that [...]

OMB Breaks All Time Readership Record!

September 16, 2007

Saturday was an eventful day for One Man’s Server… It had the unenviable task of keeping up with a record day of visitors! In one 24 hour period over 115,000 people visited the site. The vast majority as a result of reaching the “Most Popular in 24 hours” page on Digg for people visiting the [...]

Well, One Man’s Blog has continued to grow in every category I tend to measure, be it Technorati, Alexa, Feedburner or simply traffic stats. As a result, the advertising that I’ve placed on the site has been generating excess cash beyond what’s required to keep my dedicated servers running, and I’ve decided the best thing [...]

One Man’s Blog 1 Year Anniversary!

July 23, 2007

Wow, has it been a year already?!? My inaugural post came on July 23, 2006. I didn’t really have a plan about how this site was going to develop, but the growth has certainly exceeded my expectations. By my best estimates over a million people have stopped by in the past year, and every month [...]

Major Comments Overhaul

July 3, 2007

Ok. Tonight I made some major changes to the way comments are handled on the blog. Added a few ‘quicktags’ to the comment box for text formatting. Added a live preview directly below the comment box. Added threaded commenting. This allows people to respond directly to a previous comment and keeps responses grouped for ease [...]

OMB in the Top .00001% of all Blogs!

May 18, 2007

Wow, did you realize that there are now over 70,000,000 blogs on the Web according to Technorati? And interestingly enough they rank One Man’s Blog among the top 6,000 blogs on the net! I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for linking to articles on my site because that is what Technorati [...]
