Recap of what is new at GregEllison dot net

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic or sign up to my Email Newsletter.

I have added TweetMeme Retweet Button plugin instead of Tweet This plugin. It looks a lot less crowded at the bottom of the posts. I just need people to retweet my posts. Do you guys put the buttons at the top or bottom? Also are people retweeting your posts?

I also changed the button for my aweber form on the right. I saw couple of different blogs change their buttons. You can find them at David Risely’s or Yaro Starak’s blog. If you hover over the button it changes between red and green. I think this might bring more attention to the aweber signup. What do you think about the button?

Those are the only new changes that I have done lately. What have you done to change your blog lately?

If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!

I think it is a good change since the red border will draw the visitors attention. When it comes to to the tweet-button it looks good, but the question is if it lower the amount of tweets?

I went from the Socialable plugin (I think you’re using that one now) to the SexySharing plugin as I thought it was more eye catching. But I also just removed that one and manually added some bigger buttons for the most important sites: digg, stumbleupon, twitter and facebook. I’d rather have people use those 4 services and they SEE they can use them, than offer 20 different sites that nobody uses.

I think your newsletter button looks weird with that red border Should be able to make it stand out more while still keeping it look nicely.

The tweetmeme plugin is awesome! It doubled my page views yesterday compared to normal – just from retweets!

Greg,

I am using TweetMeme, but I am not sure how effective it is. Most of my retweets come from my friends on Twitter. I’d say it can’t hurt by having it prominently displayed on your posts.

I have noticed that I am getting more backlinks with it though because they list the retweets on their site.
