Super simple survey

Hey, can you help me out and complete this survey? if you leave your details then I’ll enter you in to a contest to win $50!
The survey has now finished

It’s to prepare the way for the release of CommentLuv Premium next month. I’ve got some big fancy pants things prepared and from now until the launch day sometime in mid November, I’ll be creating some awesome videos for a free course that I’ll be releasing in the run up to launch day.

Get in their brains!!

I’m going to release a free series of videos on a strategy that I’ve used that literally forces people to pay attention to you. It’s achieved by tapping in to the response system in everyones brain called the reticular activating system . Sounds complex? haha, not really! it’s so super simple (like the survey) that anyone can do it and I’ve come up with a strategy that you can slot in to your daily internet activities to make people notice you, recognize you and remember you so that when you put something in from of them to click, tweet, share, like or read then they are much more likely to do so.

Just add your name to the early bird list by completing the form on the sidebar of the survey page

There are lots and lots of users with lots and lots of different server configurations so each time I release an update, a new issue arises that needs to be fixed. Don’t worry though, there aren’t many more updates to do! I am nearly on top of it now and there’s only the problems with w3 total cache to sort out.

Try the 2.90.6 version

I’m using the latest update 2.90.6 on this site now and I would really like it if you could try it on your site before I send it to the repository for mass downloads.

If you can, please download 2.90.6 here and install it to your site. You need to first deactivate the old one, delete it and the upload the new one. It should work just fine and there should be no danger of it messing anything up, I just want to get some feedback on this new version (good or bad) from a few people before I force loads of users to update again which happens whenever I upload a version to the repository.

I am particularly interested in hearing from people who have a caching plugin installed, once you install the plugin, clear your cache and then try a comment whilst logged out and then try a comment here using your url and please let me know in a support ticket at http://support.commentluv.com

As an incentive to try it out, good feedback will result in your site url and name being put on the download page in the thanks section!

Here’s how the video turned out :

I’m now on to making the videos for the settings page of the plugin, I’ve just got one finished and uploaded and will hopefully have the rest finished by the end of the day tomorrow.

Here’s the first ‘start here’ video which shows up when someone clicks the ‘start here’ button on the settings page sidebar :

I’ll get the rest of the videos done and uploaded hopefully by the end of the day tomorrow and then I’ll send out an email to subscribers of www.commentluv.com with a link to download it. If you’re not on the list yet, you can sign up here

From nofollow to dofollow in a snap, oh crap?!

I’ve found out from a series of emails with TechChunks that the links added by CommentLuv are now magically appearing as dofollow links.

How strange! I know for a fact that they weren’t doing that a month or so ago because I was still getting support tickets from users asking why the last blog posts links were NOT dofollow and I had to tell them that they followed whatever default was set by WordPress. Now, it seems that the links are not ‘nofollow’ed.

I know that the last update to WordPress had a bug in it that prevented any links at all from being clickable in the comment text because of a mistake with a filter that was applied to each comment content, that was fixed with an update to Akismet. I think maybe the fix also broke the bit that adds a filter that makes all links have a rel=”nofollow” added.

Minor Update

I’ve just coded a minor update to the Commentluv wordpress plugin that allows you as a blog owner to set which links have the rel=”nofollow” attribute added.

You have a choice of making all links ‘nofollow’ or none of them (which makes you a dofollow blog) or for a bit more control, you can set it so that only people that have registered to your site can have their last blog posts as dofollow. This is a little hint of how things will be going with the next major update to CommentLuv (v2.9+) where instead of getting people to register here at comluv.com for advanced features, they can (if you choose) register to your site as a subscriber to get things like dofollow or choose from more than 1 post when they comment on your site.

As with other updates, I wont be updating the codex right away but I’ll be adding a link to download the latest build (2.817) to the download page (Commentluv WordPress) and you can try it out. Please let me know your results if you install it to your site (either good or bad!)

To install the new version, you will need to deactivate the old version and delete it if you are going to be using the ‘add new’ plugin page in your dashboard to upload the zip file.
If you are using FTP to upload the folder in the zip file, be sure to deactivate the plugin first and then upload the folder overwriting the old one.

Once it is installed, visit the settings page and choose which links you want to have rel=”nofollow” added to

CommentLuv v2.815
