I’ve made some behind the scenes changes to my blog. Most of these will be invisible to you, the reader, but they should help me keep things up-to-date and respond to comments more efficiently.
- Moved theme to subversion repository (link on request)
- Using subversion to keep blog & plugins up-to-date.
- Now using the WordPress Plugin Competition 2.5 Winning, WP Comment Remix to manage and respond to comments.
- RSS Feed switched to Feedburner to allow me to track statistics.
- Using Google Analytics to track comments.
Hopefully these changes make it easier to stay on top of my blog in the limited time I have available. I’m hoping that the next major update will be a multilingual version of the site.
Updates:
Here are a couple of screenshots showing what I consider to be the two key benefits of the WP Comment Remix plugin.
Hey Bill,
Very Nice to hear about the changes you’ve made to the blog.
WP comment remix is news to me. Let me know how it works for you. I’d want to try it.
Good Luck

This reminded me of your post, Top 10 Reasons Why You Must Comment on Blogs. Which I will now follow up with a post on why bloggers should respond to comments.
