I have used the holidays to install a new version of Windows Live Writer since the official version - no beta -  is available as download since the beginning of November and is named Windows Live Writer 2008.

After installing I searched for useful resources which would make blogging easier and I came across three websites containing useful tips and Plug-ins.

Currently I have added the following Plug-ins:

I wish all a Happy New Year and best wishes for 2008! (presumed that you use the Gregorian calendar, like Wikipedia knows to tell... :-) )

And yes... one of my New Year's pledge is to blog more than the last year - I hope to satisfy this...

Scott Hanselman has posted about the "DasBlog Theme Contest" started to get some more themes for the start of the 2.0 release of DasBlog.

The contest is hosted by Ben Scheirman, who also provides a step-by-step description on how to create an own theme.

If you have ever thought of feeling as a designer and create a new theme for DasBlog? There will be no better time than now! :-)

I have installed Version 1.9.6264.0 of dasBlog and it works fine - nevertheless I had some difficulties getting it started due to security issues.

I now will have to discover the new things included in this version.Interested in a list of new features posted by Scott Hanselman?

Or interested in downloading? The official website will be a good point to start at.

There are only two reasons why I have avoided Windows Live Writer so far

  1. it is still beta...
  2. it does not have a kind of "Insert Code" like my online form

Today I discovered that Omar Shahine has build a "Insert Code for Windows Live Writer" - and kindly also hast posted it on Windows Live Gallery.

Thanks Omar!

I am not really a fan of having blinking banners on a web page, but knowing (PRODUCT)RED I think I will make an exception as soon as I have figured out how to custmize the style template of dasBlog...

I have discovered, that several links I have had in my archive and also in this blog are currently not working anymore, because:

  • content has moved or is no longer available
  • blog was moved to another blogging software without migrating the content

If you would like to have an example:
http://brianecooper.com/coop/archive/2005/03/15/270.aspx
Brian has changed the blogging software and has not moved all posts yet.
I really would have needed the workaround he provided in his post urgently, but I only had stored the link and not the content...

Though some of my links aren´t working and useful content is not available anymore.
Therefor I decided not just to link content in the future but also to copy the content - including a reference to the original author and original source of course! - to my blog to assure availability.

Currently my blog is massively spammed with referrals coming from suspicious web adresses...

But using dasBlog means that I am able to activate a referral blacklist and I would like to share it with you:

http://www.oursoccerworldcup.com/; http://www.ourworldcup2006.com/; http://www.yourhomeownersinsurance.com/; http://www.onlycreditcardoffers.com/; http://www.onlysoma.com/; http://www.justdebitcard.com/; http://www.forcreditcarddebt.com/; http://www.thismortgagerefinance.com/; http://www.getholidayinnexpress.com/; http://www.ourautoinsurancequotes.com/; http://www.ourcreditscore.com/; http://www.ourcollegeloans.com/; http://www.playonlinecasinonow.com/; http://www.ouronlinecasinos.com/; http://www.thepokertournaments.com/; http://www.thispokerhand.com/; http://www.itishardmoney.com/; http://www.onlybankloans.com/; http://www.getdiscounthotels.com/; http://www.ourfreecreditreports.com/; http://www.ourmortgagebrokers.com/; http://www.aboutstudentloanconsolidation.com/; http://www.itispartypoker.com/; http://www.yourspharmacy.com/; http://www.radcraft.com/; http://www.loan-account.com/; http://www.rated-mortgage.com/; http://www.just-payday.com/; http://www.mine-betting.com/; http://www.fortexasholdem.com/; http://www.100-casino.com/; http://www.nachunternehmer.com/; http://www.subunternehmer.de/; http://www.subunternehmer.com/; http://www.ourtexasholdem.com/; http://www.onlytexasholdempoker.com/; http://www.yourtexasholdempoker.com/; http://www.uniqueonlinetexasholdem.com/; http://www.texasholdfun.com/; http://www.thetexasholdpoker.com/; http://www.1clickholdem.com/; http://www.ourholdem.com/; http://www.moreholdempoker.com/; http://www.internettexashold.com/; http://www.uniquetexasholdem.com/; http://www.uniqueholdempokeronline.com/

Just mark it, copy it and use it in your configuration - and if you have collected some referral spammers that are not contained in my list, please use the comments... Maybe we are able to get a complete list! :-)

Is anyone able to explain the sense of this kind of spamming to me?

I made it and Vasanth Dharmarajs Renamer helped a lot and saved me from doing all this manually - but it is not really bug-free I think and has two minor bugs...

  • You can´t chat with the messenger and rename at the same time, something gets hooked. Amazing...
  • You can´t consolidate categories with renaming them to the same new target, then the two same categories will be shown in the footer of a post. I renamed MS SQL 2000|AS to MS SQL Server|AS - SSAS and than I did the same with MS SQL 2005|SSAS
    (maybe a restart of the web solves that... No, it does not...)

Here is the old one vs. the new one:

      

Suggestions?
Please use the comments....
:-)

And if someone knows how to show the categories without expanded nodes - share the knowledge with me, please.

Just 10 days old I am thinking of restructuring my categories, but doing it manually would be a mess!

I think Vasanth Dharmaraj and his Renamer will save me hours of work and nerves. I am curious if this works...
