I’ve been meme-d. Danny Foo tagged me so here’s my list of must read magazines and websites.

(Btw, here’s a definition if you’re not sure what a meme is)

Must read monthly magazines

None, I don’t subscribe to any magazines (I’m stingy!). I read stuff mostly off the web, and occassionaly I pick up a magazine from the list of optional magazines below.

Optional monthly magazines

  • Personal Money
  • PC.com
  • Men’s Health
  • New Man
  • FHM

Must read daily websites

In continuing the meme, I’m tagging..

A great way of tracking the comments being posted on your blog is by reading the comments feed from the blog. Unfortunately, Textpattern doesn’t have this functionality built in. So I was happy to find ajw_comments_feed by compooter. I use the comments feed mainly for myself and so I don’t publish it, but if you want it you can find it at www.itchyhands.com/?rss=1&area=comments.

Textpattern feeds are dynamically generated and as a result they have ‘messy’ URLs, e.g. http://www.itchyhands.com/rss/?c=category&?s=section. With ajw_clean_feed, you can get your section and category feeds can have ‘clean’ URLs:

www.example.com/rss/section/

www.example.com/category/foo/rss/

You can even get your links feed and comments feed for individual articles:

www.example.com/links/rss/

http://example.com/yyyy/mm/dd/url-title/rss/

For the individual article comments feed, you need the ajw_comments_feed plugin too.

I just want to say a big thank you to compooter for such great plugins and if you haven’t yet, go install ajw_comments_feed and ajw_clean_feed.
