Another Helpful WordPress Plugin – PostRank

I’ve been scrolling through a my Google Reader blog RSS feed, trying to catch up on several weeks of posts that have somehow passed me by – it’s crazy how intense the heart of the winter season can be sometimes – in any case, I was reading a post by Chris Brogan, a long time favorite blogger of mine who had posted about PostRank and I figured that I’d try it out myself. I’ve written before how I like to use this blog, and testing out new plugins is one of the many things that I do like to do with this “sandbox”. PostRank integrates directly into the post admin page of WordPress and looks like this:
There’s also a component that shows directly on your dashboard which shows “engagement” generated both on and off blog over the past 30 days.
To me, this is great information, as it allows me to see what content is engaging people so that I can hopefully write more on topics that are of interest to my readers, and to be able to measure that interest both on and off-site in a simple and easy to understand way, such as how the PostRank plugin does, is great. Does anyone else have tools that they use to measure the engagement of their content?

Mobile Compatabilty

So, we’re in the process of updating the mobile site at the resort. But, I just realized, after reading a post on the Tourism Keys blog that I’m basically a slacker for not taking advantage of the the tools available by using WordPress.org as the CMS for my blog.
In about a half an hour this evening, I tested out a couple of mobile plugins and settled on the really neat dotMobi WordPress Mobile Pack. This plugin is incredibly easy to setup and get configured, the only glitch was that didn’t initially realize that I still needed to manually setup a subdomain in order for the m.ericinparkcity.com mobile content to resolve (doh!). There’s also a nifty mobile sniffer and chooser feature, and I’m just now getting ready to dig into the barcode widget they offer. Yeah I’m liking those funny looking 2D barcodes now that I have a phone which can use them.
Guess I needed to “walk the walk” in regards to mobile after starting to “talk the talk” a bit here. Thanks for the reminder Todd!
