7 "Popular Posts" widget experiencing server errors (now fixed)
November 01, 2007 /

EDIT: The "popular posts" (Blog Window) widget is now working fine again, and the AffiliateBrand website is also back online!

It seems that this was just a temporary glitch in the system, though all services are working perfectly now including the Analytics Wizard statistics, so check your inbox if you've been waiting for your blog stats as you've probably received your daily email a little later than usual.

Personally, I'm relieved that the widget is working properly again, and am prepared to suffer a few hiccups for the benefits this widget offers myself and my readers. A popular service such as this is bound to experience difficulties from time to time. Even the mighty Google occasionally slips up, as we experienced when we were unable to upload images (and occasionally when we are unable to load our blogs!).

If I do find out what caused this problem and whether it's likely to happen again, I will of course let you all know about this.

  2. I am not very familiar with this widget but it seems to be a very cool addition to blogs. It has been a busy week trying to increase loyal readership instead of getting the majority of SE traffic.

    Once it is up and running well for good, it will be a nice wignet to look into for Popular Posts. I still need to implement some changes to my posts layout, which has been backed up for about a week or so. Congrats on the Page Rank update.

  3. Yup, it seems to be working fine again now. Nicole, this is a rather useful widget to use in your blog, and it's easy to customize the widget to blend with your template (see this post for full details.

    I will reply to your email shortly about your problem with the selective expandable posts :)

  4. That widget seems very useful but I'm hesitant about inserting code for websites I don't know.

    Remember the fuss over MyBlogLog recording click conversion for adsense? I just don't want the metrics from my blog being used by some other place or being sold somehow.

    If you use google analytics it shows you which of your pages have gotten the most hits over the past month. If you manual insert the links then you won't have to worry about these kinds of widgets breaking down.

  5. I've been wanting a popular posts widget for my blog but don't really like the one by affiliate brand. I hope you can make your own, Amanda. :) Much like a normal feed if it's possible. :)
