Kontera Control Plugin to be updated

Lucia over at Big Bucks Blogger created a fantastic wordpress plugin over the summer that helps bloggers who use Kontera on their sites decide where and when Kontera ads should show up.

When I recently widgetized one of my sites the Kontera Control Plugin started acting up on me – putting ads in posts that I’d told it not to put them in and so on. So Lucia has decided to upgrade her KonteraControl plugin for WordPress 2.3 and she’s trying to fix a few bugs that users of this plugin have discovered while using it.

I just wanted to mention this so that if you’ve come across any bugs you can let Lucia know about it now. She hopes to have a new version of this plugin out by the end of the week. So speak up if you’ve come across any problems with this great plugin.

I could have saved money if I’d used CouponChief

by Tricia

Earlier this month I bought some computer related accessories. I think I got a good deal on them, but if I’d really been a savvy shopper I would have thought to check for coupons or coupon codes at CouponChief first. You know those old V8 commercials where people are banging their hand to their head saying “I could have had a V8!”? Well I’m doing that right about now, but I’m saying I could have got a better deal!

You see, CouponChief.com has listings for thousands of popular stores. Not just stores that sell computer goods either. They’ve got stores listed that sell everything from clothing to home decor, to business supplies to pet products and so on.

Now that I’ve remembered about CouponChief I decided to play devils advocate to see if I might have found some coupon codes for the external 380 gb drive that I purchased, and for the HP 12 cell lithium battery that I needed to get for my laptop so that I could work on it for longer periods of time while it was unplugged.

You know what? I found Best Buy coupon deals that could have saved me 20% on SimpleTech external and portable hard drives. That’s not the brand I purchased, but had I known I might have taken a good look at that companies portable hard drives.

I also found Circuit City deals that could have saved me money on some of the computer related items I’ve purchased recently too.

I think I’m going to put a sticky note on my computer monitor reminding me to check CouponChief.com first before I buy any more things online.

How do you like the new Digg?

by Tricia

If you are already a registered member of Digg have you visited recently? If not, you really should go and update your profile.

They’ve also made it a lot easier to add friends. Remember before you could only add so many friends each day and not very fast at all? Well, I think it was Thursday – I spent some time finding a number of people I knew on Digg and adding them as friends. I think I added 60+ people to my account.

It’s amazing!

Everyone is networking. When one of my friends has a good dig they use the new shout out system and let me know. When they do send a shout out I get an email and I simply go to my digg account and check it out and if I like what they’ve submitted I give it a dig. I’ve yet to use this system for my own diggs, but believe me I will.

How do you like the new digg?

Oh and if you want to add me as a friend here’s my digg profile page.
