If you find any problems, please leave a comment here!

We’re releasing AdSense-Deluxe2 plugin that we are using here on Blogetery for revenue share. Originally this WordPress plugin was developed by acmetech.com. AdSense-Deluxe2 is a WordPress plugin offering advanced options for managing the automatic insertion of Google AdSense to your WordPress posts.

Features:

• New: Added revenue share functionality for WPMU.
• New: Added Ads Auto-Embedding: if you haven’t add <!–adsnese–> code into your post plugin automatically will add this code into position you choose.
• Fixed: WYSIWYG drop-down menu (working with WordPress 2.3.3)

Installation: Download the tgz file, extract it and upload the adsense_deluxe folder to your plugins or mu-plugin directory.

WPMU revenue share configuration: To enable revenue share set up following variables in adsense_deluxe.php:

• $__ACMETECH_REV_SHARE - % of revenue share
• $__ACMETECH_CLIENT_ID__ - AdSense Publisher ID must be the same as in $__ACMETECH_AD_DEFAULT_CODE__
• $__ACMETECH_AD_DEFAULT_CODE__ - AdSense code for revenue share

Download: here

Seems like The WordPress.com Stats Plugin not working on WPMU :(. It has been replaced by FireStats plugin. You can enable FireStats plugin from Plugins page and access stats page from Dashboard -> FireStats.

Hi folks,

First, sorry about the lack of updates recently; I’ve been busy working on other projects.
Today we rolled out a major update to our site:

• We have upgraded to latest WordPress version 2.3.3!
• New: AdSense-Deluxe Plugin (Same revenue share 90/10)
• New: WordPress.com Stats Plugin

• New: AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget
• New: Plugoo Widgets
• New: Snap Shots Plugin
• Upgarde: Ultimate GA 1.6.0
• Upgrade: Anarchy Media Player 2.0

Please report in this post any broken themes and plugins or any other problem. Thank you.

Howdy,

Soon we will add more new cool plugins and themes, and it would be interesting to hear what themes and plugins you can suggest.

Please feel free to leave your comments.

Ultimate GA - this is a WordPress plugin to add JavaScript to your weblog for using Google Analytics. It does not only add the basic JavaScript to track your pages, but can also add JavaScript to outbound, mailto: and download links so you can also track clicks on these links.

Instructions:

• Go to the administration page of your WordPress installation (normally at http://www.yourblog.com/wp-admin)
• Click on the Plugins tab and search for Ultimate Google Analytics in the list
• Activate the Ultimate Google Analytics plugin
• You can now find an Ultimate GA page under Options to set the options of the plug-in
• Wait until Google Analytics updates your reports. Currently it seems like this can take up to 24 hours. Note that by default Google Analytics selects a week ending yesterday as its reporting period. Click on today in the lefthand calendar to see today’s statistics, if they’ve already been reported.

To enable Picasa Web Album widget - activate the plugin in the plugins panel, go to Presentation - SideBar Widgets and drag the Picasa web album widget into your sidebar, set the options (your picasa username) and voila.

Don’t worry about hosting – it isn’t critical. When you arrive at the Blogetery.com just click on the big blue sign that says, `Create a New Blog`.

2. Choose and create a user name. This will become part of the subdomain of your blog so put some real thought into this name. Make it relevant to the theme of your blog. Fill in your email address.

3. Click on `Create Blog!` Wordpress will setup everything that is necessary to create your blog.

4. On the next page you will see your domain name. It will consist of yourblogname.blogetery.com. This might be your very first website and your first home on the Web.

5. Now you must think about the title of your blog. This is as important as the name because it will appear in the header on every page of your blog. The search engines will rank your blog depending on how relevant the title is to your content. Choose well.

6. You will receive detailed instructions from Blogetery.com on what to do next.

7. Start Blogging!

Answer these questions and you’ll be on your way to getting your own WordPress blog:

• Do you have a hosting account and domain name? If not, what’s holding you back from getting a Blogetery hosted blog?
• What have you chosen as the name for your blog?
• What title have you chosen for your new blog?
• Are you ready for implementing your first blog today?

“Widgets” is just a silly buzzword we’ve chosen for this sidebar-chopping plug-in we have developed. They could have been called Gadgets or Gizmos or Wizbangs or Whatevers. On the surface, they’re just things you can use to personalize your WordPress site without knowing HTML.

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of new free wordpress hosting Blogetery.com. Please feel free to add comments and suggestions on topics you’d like us to discuss.
