Added a translator plugin to some of my blogs

Last week I installed a new WordPress plugin on two of my blogs. I decided that it was time that I made it easy for my site visitors to see translated versions of my blog posts since I have visitors on those two particular blogs from a number of different countries. So I installed the WordPress plugin Google Translate.

Looking at my web stats for the two blogs that I’m using this plugin on so far it seems to be a hit. Several of my visitors are using the translator to translate my posts each day.

Perhaps by adding this feature to my blogs it will help draw in a few new visitors each day, ones who’s first language is not English.

Have you tried using a translator on your sites? If so, did it help increase site traffic at all?

BTW if you are going to use a translator on your site, the translations have a much better chance of being correct if you try to use proper grammar and spelling in your posts. Just an FYI.

Barracuda Networks signs license agreement with OIN

by Tricia

On October 2nd Barracuda Networks announced that it had signed a license agreement with Open Invention Networks. Open Invention Networks (OIN) launched in 2005 as an intellectual property company that specializes in acquiring patents and ensuring their availability in order to further the Linux System.

Several companies have now become licensees of OIN in order to help ensure that Linux-Based and open source intellectual properties get the protection they deserve.

It’s important that developers of Linux-based programs and open source intellectual properties work in a legally protected environment and partnerships such as the one being created between Barracuda networks and Open Invention Networks will go a long way towards ensure that new Linux based software continues to be created and that businesses will continue to invest in Linux and Open Source.

Barracuda Networks has been an active member in the open source and free software communities. They’ve also combined their own technology with various open source programs in order to provide easy to use security applications such as their Enterprise Class Spam Filter, Spam Firewall, web filters and load balancers.

Kontera Control Plugin to be updated

by Tricia

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.
