I have recently backed up the whole database and server files to a local development machine so I can try out some new code for the things to come to this site.
URL registration process.
Now : updated so it doesn’t throw weird errors if a user already has another account
Future: A new page will be added to allow the registration of more URL’s for your account.

WP version update
Future: Once testing on the local server is done, the core will be updated to 2.8.5.2

Supporter Update
Future: The supporter plugin will be updated to 2.0 which will make it easier to configure and use.
Future: Unlock the permanent payment so any user who refers a paying customer will receive a commission every time that customer pays for something, for the life of the customer.

Credits for extras
Future: There will be a credit system that can be used to buy extra things. Each person who joins gets 5 credits to start with and can use them to purchase extra urls on their account.
Future: This will be tied into the affiliate code so that all purchases will earn the referring person commission for the life of the customer.
Future: You will be able to charge people credits to show a banner ad on your site or write a review. You will then be able to use the credits to upgrade certain parts of your site or get enough and get a years supporter package.
Future: There will be extras like custom themes or your own css files to be used for a few credits.

Continuing referral contest
Now: Last month someone received $15 in their affiliate account for having the most unique clicks from their site or link to the comluv site.
Future: Credits to be awarded to users who write tutorials that link to the main site.
Future: Free 1 year supporter packages to highest referral signups each month.

Intense Debate CommentLuv
Now: Working version.
Future: add in checks for jquery and tidy the code

and more and more! I could go on but my fingers are starting to hurt (it’s bloody cold in my man cave!) :)

    just to let you know that when you hover over your ‘get it here’ banner the alt text actually says ‘sing up’ and not sign up :P

  4. Andy,
    I have asked this before and am respectfully asking again. Regarding comments and links that I see here (as well as on other comluv blogs I have viewed)… why are they “no-follow”?

    Isn’t the whole point on comment luv to be able to allow comments as”do-follow” for relevant comments?

      the links are nofollow because that’s how wordpress treats links. If you want them to be dofollow then you need to install a dofollow plugin.
      the primary purpose of commentluv was to provide a better way for blog owners and visitors to see what the comment authors were writing about and to encourage people to comment. I took out the dofollow code because of the automated bots that trawl for dofollow links and spam the whole site.

  5. Hi Andy
    I’ve tried to reach you a couple of times with no success. Can you drop me a line please?
    Blessings & Good Cheer
