The best way to get your band's blog on Myspace.

While I was looking through the widget analytics data the other day, I noticed just how many bands are using our RSS reader to deliver news to their fans into social networks like Myspace and Facebook and start pages like iGoogle, Netvibes and Pageflakes.


Grab this Led Zeppelin widget now.
Of course, I'm going to show my age here, but I had to ask who Timbaland, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Rich Boy were, and I had no clue about The Wreckers, Robin Thicke or Faith Hill but when I found out that the official Beastie Boys, Led Zeppelin and Michael Jackson's Thriller profiles were using our widgets I had to spread the word.

Admittedly, Timbaland may get a bit more play these days, but I spent so much time listening to my Zeppelin albums and tapes that I wore them out. And the Beastie boys Licensed to Ill was awesome and played non-stop while cruising in my 66 Mustang in the 80's. (I really am old)

If you have a band, take a look at how some of the other artists I mentioned above implemented the widgets on their Myspace pages and feel free to use our widgets or our platform to promote your own news or events to your fans.

We don't charge for bands to use our RSS reaader, so it's probably the lowest cost investment that you'll make in your popularity. If you are feeling generous, we'll take concert tickets, CD's and backstage passes if you have any to spare ;-)



If you are a band and add a SpringWidgets express RSS reader to your page to promote your website or blog, please add a comment below and let us know where to find it.

Rock on and build your own RSS express widget today. Read More

My Comment Count is Bigger Than Your Comment Count!

With the push towards a successful blog being defined by its comments, a new WordPress Plugin has appeared that may push the comment frenzy even more.

PlanetOzh has created the Liz Strauss Comment Counter by Ozh WordPress Plugin which honors the popular blog conversation expert, .

If you want to brag about your blog’s comment count, this is the Plugin to try. The Liz Strauss Comment Counter Plugin adds a chicklet comment counter similar to Feedburner to your blog. You can configure it with a variety of colors and styles. Ozh has included a lot of great features to customize the look to match your blog’s color scheme and styles. This is a great way to show off the number of comments on your blog.

Think about it. Instead of the arbitrary judgment of how many feed subscribers or visitors you have on your blog, you could give valuable feedback to your blog visitors on how social your blog really is. Every time someone leaves a comment, the count increases. Think of the possibilities!

You could have contests that help drive up the comment count. You could ask people to bet on when your comment count will break a significant score like 10,000, 100,000, or maybe even 100. Blogs could compete against each other to raise their comment count. Or it could just sit there and let the world know that you welcome comments. The more the merrier.

The Comment Count Plugin is getting rave reviews and can be seen in action at Hot for Words and Momworx. The Plugin has been translated into Italian, too.

So what would you do with your blog’s comment count score?

Who Are Liz and Ozh?

Thanks to Ozh for honoring the great work Liz Strauss does for the blogging community. If you don’t know Liz, she is the author of and founder of the SOB Award which honors unique and original bloggers, author of The Secret to Writing a Successful and Outstanding Blog — The Insider’s Guide to the Conversation That’s Changing How Business Works, and founder of Successful and Outstanding Bloggers Conference (SOBCon), the annual conference which brings together top bloggers with top blogging and business and marketing experts. With more than 70,000 comments on her blog, she’s a leader in the art of the blog conversation.

Ozh of PlanetOzh is one of the top award-winning WordPress Plugin experts in the WordPress Community - probably the world. His Plugins have been top winners in the WordPress Plugin Competition and are frequently featured in the most popular and top download lists on the various WordPress Plugin directories, listings, and repositories. He has done amazing work with WordPress Themes, WordPress Plugins, WordPress tools and utilities, web design, coding, and more non-WordPress projects. A few of his most popular Plugins include:

What About WordPress.com Bloggers? We Want to Count Our Comments!

If you are interested in requesting the Liz Strauss Comment Counter by Ozh WordPress Plugin be among the Widget sidebar options for blogs, let them know. Ask in the WordPress.com Forums and chime in behind those who asked first.

One of the ways a WordPress Plugin or Widget makes it into WordPress.com is by being among the top downloaded and most popular Plugins on the WordPress Plugin Directory. If you have the full version of WordPress, have your say on how you like it, and encourage others to download and install it.

I really think that the blog comment war is going to heat up with this new hot Plugin.

Checking your own RSS feeds

Are you checking your own RSS feeds, are you subscribed to your own feeds. If not then how do you know your feed is working properly. This is something I have come across, I have noticed on both my own and other bloggers feeds that sometimes your feed breaks.

The simplest thing you can do is subscribe to your feed in your feed reader. Create a separate folder to accommodate just your own feeds so you know exactly where they are. Now every time you make a post your new post will appear in your feed reader.

When you do your usual daily RSS trawl you will be reminded to check your feed. If there is anything amiss you will know about it sooner rather than later. I have emailed many a webmaster to tell them that their feed is broken. I mean who reads their own feeds, right.

This post is from the Newsniche website and should not be reproduced elsewhere. Why not subscribe to the RSS feed and get this information delivered straight to your News reader.
