Ding, ding, ding! We have a WINNER! PromoGuy left the 10,000 comment on this site earlier today! It’s taken years to get to that point of 10,000 comments. Whoo hoo! Congratulations to Promo!

I look at my traffic and it seems to be rising. I look at my comments – and they are empty. I look at other sites and within seconds of a post going live, there are comments.

Speaking of the MT Plugin for Blogshares, there is another one out with more features! You can check it out here at Poetic Geek’s site. David is also making changes to his version, which you can pick up here. He has already fixed the glitch that caused sites to not rebuild when Blogshares was down, so be sure to update yours!
