I have been trying to determine my next niche for a Pligg install. Normally I wouldn’t use a niche but I think just for the fun of it I will and experiment with what type of traffic it gets. I was thinking travel. I like the layout of Cheaper than Hotels.com, with its clean layout, color choices...

I think I missed the boat when I launched my 2 Pligg powered websites. I recently became a member of 2 Pligg powered websites that focus on submitting blog posts. Both of these sites seem to have an active member base, with a never ending list of entries.   The first one I joined was Blog Engage,...

Back on April 22nd I invited anyone with a Pligg powered website to submit it for review. Thusfar, only 2 websites have done so. Both of these sites have made it very challenging to decide which is better. Lets get to them, they are listed in order of submission. FoxieWire: Design (8/10): the design...

StumbleUpon can is a great tool when it comes to finding websites you have never heard of before. I usually stumble over 100 websites a day, and I came across a website called Spock.

Late January of this year I attempted to get my Pligg install to auto populate the description of a story submitted on step 2 of the submission process. This is the code I started with: if ( preg_match ( ‘~~i’, $this->html, $matches ) ){ $description = preg_replace( ‘~^(.+?)content="([^"]+?)"(.+?)$~i’,...

My good friend LincolnHawks over at SocialCMSBuzz has alerted me to a disturbing but not surprising move by Pligg. They are withholding all news and information regarding the next version of Pligg and they even secretively moved the SVN so members and contributors can’t see what the changes are. Open...
