Structured Blogging is a very useful plugin for both wordpress and movable type that allows you to create posts with massive amounts of metadata in many formats. Thus hopefully accelerating the transformation of the „old“ web to a much more useful and meta-tagged/meta-boosted web.

Ⅰ am using the $dt‑>blog(); » Google analytics plugin here on this site, but for tracking outgoing link clicks Ⅰ have had to modify the plugin like this:

add_filter('the_content', 'ga_addonclick', 10);

function ga_addonclick($value){

    if(get_option('ga_onclick')){

        $value = preg_replace("/<a href=\"([^\"]+)\"/e",
        "'<a href=\'$1\' rel=\'nofollow\' onclick=\''.ga_parseurl('$1').'\''"   ,$value);
        }
        return $value;
}

function ga_parseurl($href){
	$onclickcode = stripslashes(get_option('ga_onclick_code'));

	$href = str_replace('http://', '', $href); 

	return str_replace('$site',$href,$onclickcode);
}

Ⅰ am not sure if this is possible at all – but would it not be nice to have a (spam safe) way of converting incoming referrer-URLs to trackbacks/pingbacks? So you know when a blog post has been linked to on del.icio.us or so.

Make it talk to SpamKarma and ReferrerKarma, use whitelists for URLs that you would like to have added as linkbacks… something, anything?

Or maybe we can convince Joshua to have del.icio.us post a pingback including a back-link to a page that lists all users and tags the page has been filed under.

And while we are at it: is there such a thing as a trackback/pingback to *just the blog* and not an individual entry?

Anyone having problems with the Live Comments Plugin for WordPress: There seems to be some lines of code missing in comments.php so that logged in users do not get the live preview.

A workaround can be found at the WordPress Support forums.
