Impact of Wordpress theme on search engine results
A few days ago I have switched the theme of this blog from freicurv to WP-Polaroid and since then the visits on my blog (not very many visitors anyway) went down to zero yesterday.
I hope this switch to a new theme did not impact my search engine results that much and it is just a temporary issue. Especially for the Icybox 4220 I had quite good positions.
UPDATE I: Of course the theme has an impact on the visits, at least if you have the google analytics code hard coded into your theme... 
I guess the problem was, that I did not have the Google Analytics tracking code on the page anymore. We will see what tomorrow brings.
UPDATE II: The installation of the Wordpress Plugin for Google Analytics didn't help either. There is something wrong with that WP-Polaroid theme when it comes to web analytics. None of the tools that I was testing was working anymore, so I switched back to freicurv for now. It's too late to figure out what is wrong with the theme.
That’s what I’d call bad luck
Well, yesterday someone had hacked my blog. I was a little bit behind with updating, but I thought I'd wait for the new version, Wordpress 2.5.
Anyway, as my blog wasn't working any more after this attack, I had to reinstall everything, uploaded my back-ups, etc. And today the guys at Wordpress.org release the new version. Basically 2 days too late!
I guess I will wait a few days to install Wordpress 2.5. I can't be bothered to do the same stuff again tonight.
First I will install all the important plug-ins. I give them a few weeks to fix the little problems that might appear in the next few days.
Desktop blogging software for Linux
I am currently looking for a desktop blogging software for Linux. The known ones like BloGtk, Drivel or the Gnome tool could not really convince me much.
