FashionFeedofSL.com Housekeeping…

I’ve been hacking away at the FashionFeedofSL.com again, and wanted to update on a few things.

1. I’ve FINALLY fixed the issue that’s been driving me batty with the syndication updates getting hung up and some blogspot sources taking hours to get updated. Updates will now happen every60 minutes for each blog.  YAY! (oh and no more memory timeouts)
2. I would love if the readers of FashionFeedofSL could  show their support of the site by helping with the Alexa ranking. Simply install Alexa toolbar plugin to your web browser. You can find it HERE.

A little explanation about why I’m requesting this:

Alexa is a long established service, which is now owned by Amazon. It works like by recording the web-surfing patterns of a large number of users.

The information on websites visited by the Alexa “panel” of users (who number hundreds of thousands) are recorded in a database, and the information is analysed to come up with data about popularity of websites.

As you might expect, the group of people who have installed the Alexa toolbar is biased towards technology people who run websites.

I use the Alexa toolbar myself as it helps me weed out quality sites from the junk when I’m google searching just about anything. I’ve worked very hard to make FashionFeedofSL the best it can be, and I would love to see the ranking reflect that. Totally up to you, but I thought I might ask!

One last issue that isn’t really optional. When a blogger requests a syndication review, the agreement is that a reciprocal link to the FashionFeedofSL.com be added to their blogroll. I’ve overlooked this quite a bit when reviewing and adding blogs (usually reminding the requester add the linkback when I notify that they’ve been syndicated).

Today I ran the list of syndicated sites through a reciprocal link checker and was pretty disappointed to find that over 100 blogs were missing a linkback on their site… I’m publishing the list and giving a week to add FashionFeedofSL.com to their blogroll. At that time, I may contact individuals with a little nudge and give it another week.

After that I will be removing blogs with no link back from syndication. I hate for it to come to that, but I feel it’s a small request in light of the amount of work that goes into maintaining the feed syndications.

EDIT: To clarify, this is the list of syndicated blogs that DO NOT have a link back. If you aren’t on the list, there is nothing for you to change. I’m also updating the list as people contact me about mistakes or after they’ve add FashionFeedofSL to their blog roll.
