If you tried to visit my site earlier today and had trouble it was probably due to a plugin that I just started using the other day.
I added the SezWho WP plugin to my site sometime last week. This plugin allows you to rate others comments and even see where else on the web they’ve been commenting lately. Likewise, the blog owner can be tracked on the web through their comment profile on SezWho as well.
I had been using the plugin on one of my other sites for a few months, but when EntreCard partnered with Sezwho last week I decided to add the plugin to two more blogs.
Unfortunately it seems that when you use the plugin your blog is connected to the Sezwho network and if Sezwho goes down or experiences server slow downs so does your blog.
After I got back from the beach I discovered that the sites using Sezwho weren’t loading properly and when I tried to access the Sezwho website I couldn’t reach it either. So I turned off the plugins. Problem solved.
SezWho appears to be up and running again now. Their blog says they had a Kernel crash this afternoon and that was the cause of the problems. Still I think I might just keep the plugins turned off for another day just to make sure they’ve corrected their server problem.
In other news … I’m still trying to find ways to supplement my at home income. Blogging and maintaining my websites brings in a fairly good income but I’m looking for other ways to earn a living from home. Anyone have any tips on good small business opportunitites – definitely not scammy ones please! I seem to be doing well with internet related opportunities so I guess I’m looking for something else to add to my internet earnings.
Good luck on find at home opportunities. I’ve checked them out in the past as a way to help supplement my blogging income. But the majority seem to be very shady!
Considering you have a good camera, ever think of becoming a stock photographer. Or a photographer in general, you seem to be able to take pretty good pictures.
If you find any good at home opportunities, drop me a line.
Later…
Hi Tricia…long time no chat!
I tried SezWho on Roxiticus Desperate Housewives for all of 8 hours the day EntreCard announced their partnership, but uninstalled it as soon as I realized that it seemed to have broken my blog’s comment capability…while I didn’t know for sure, I figured if it was broken, no one could leave me a comment to let me know!
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend…
Roxy
I tried using SezWho on two of my blogs. On The Den, it was burping up weird code. My theme’s based on Sandbox, and SezWho doesn’t play nice with Sandbox. My other blog…the only thing that shows up is the “rate this” thing and the stars. No avatars, no info, nothing.
Plus, syncing everything on both sites caused my CPU usage to spike, and my host and I got into a nasty little argument about it.
I’ve never tries using SezWho. In my opinion there are some plugins that really aren’t that essential and only succeed in slowing your site’s loading time – something that I try to keep down.
I finally know what Sezwho function here. Thanks
I haven’t tried the Sezwho plugin yet. Have you put it back on and if so, Do you think it is getting people to stay on your site longer?
