Annoying Plugins

Have you ever wondered why your blog sometimes takes ages to draw?
I came across a blog the other day that used some strange sounding plugin name, and the plugin for some reason relied on connecting to the publishers site to do something or other.  The publishers site must have been down and so the page […]

I've Just Deleted 100 Subscribers

While cleaning up my mailing lists using Awebers interface the other week, I spotted a bug which caused me to delete about 100 real subscribers from my blog notify list.  I'm sorry about that if you're one of them, and if you haven't received an email from me in the last week or so, that's […]

SmartDD V3 - Offer Extended until 6pm Saturday

Sorry for not getting back here sooner, as you can imagine it's been a little busy…
I"ve decided to take the evening off to spend some time with the family, so I'm going to let this "24 hour" offer run until 6pm Saturday.
Hopefully, by mid-day tomorrow we should have upgraded everyone that qualifies, or answered their […]

SmartDD V3 Now Released

Hurrah!
SmartDD v3 is released.  I hope you feel it was worth the wait.
But before you go racing off to the members area to upgrade, make sure to READ THIS first so you understand the implications.
#1 - If you purchased SmartDD on or since 1st March 2008, then you get the upgrade for free.  Hopefully I […]

A New Product Every Week

Just about 12 months ago, I did my "7 Products In 7 Days" exercise - I only managed 3, but I still class it as a success.
I think it's time to do something similar again on the product creation front.
But instead of pushing myself to do a product a day for 7 days, I think […]

SmartDD V3 - looking like October 23rd

Renowned for putting dates back, I've done it again.
We've decided to go ahead and add this one last feature.  I'm positive you'll say I did the right thing when you see what it is.
Paul said that Monday 20th was a bit of a tall order as we'll have to do new screen shots to show […]

SmartDD V3 - Release Date Back (a bit…)

Okay, the two bugs that I wrote about yesterday have been found and dealt with.  As I thought, they were fairly minor and Paul fixed them quickly.
While he was having another look at the code, I had a request in (hi Myles) asking if a couple of small changes could be made to accommodate some […]

SmartDD v3 - Houston We Have A Problem

While doing the docs for v3, I've come up against a full stop.
#1 - I've had a new bug reported by someone who got v3 early (sorry Ray) that's now being looked at.  It's fairly obscure but annoying, as a customer can't currently order the same item twice.  If they do, the second order […]

SmartDD v3 Features

I know it's been a long time in coming, but SmartDD v3 is ready to release apart from the docs.
I've been using it on a couple of sites, and although I haven't used every new feature in earnest, everything has been tested to my satisfaction.  Even so, I guess we'll find a couple of minor […]

New Spam Format

Just recently I've been getting a lot of emails with the content and the format of something a marketer might write.  These emails suggest that I'm on their mailing list, which of course I'm not as I have a single email account for all my marketing emails.
At the bottom of every convincing sounding email is […]
