You missed Tynt Tracer http://www.tynt.com for an analytics tool. It is great. It shows you what people are copying from your site and when they paste the selection it adds a link back to your site.

I have put http://www.mybloglog.com on my website for past 3 days. There are couple of readers on my website and I can see when I log on. But I cannot see them on my blog.

Is it only for paid members ?

Cheers,
Santosh

[...] To easy the handling of the blog and to add some advanced features to the blog specialized blogging tools are used. They are commonly known as blog plugins and for every blogging platform different plugins are created. It is always good to know what plugins the other bloggers use. [...]

The best rss aggregator I use is Google Reader. Has everything I need really, and I haven't found an online tool that matches it yet. Hope this helps! -Ken

[...] If you are just beginning to blog, you are not left out of the problogger agenda. There is a complete section just for you. Step by step (loving that structure) advice for starting your blog and achieving readers, and income for it. It is not soft advice either. Read articles like “Blog Tools“, “Blog Design for Beginners“, “Using Titles Effectively on Blogs” and one I could of really used when I was first starting, “10 Techniques for Finding Blog Readers ” [...]

Technorati ; If I had to pick one tool that’s of most help to me !

By: Eric Scalf

Eric Scalf — Tue, 14 Mar 2006 02:21:36 +0000

I’m a little late, but hey, I’ve been out of it.. heh.

Stats: Site Meter, Extreme Stats, Urchin, BlogBeat.net (it’s not free, but is very cheap, and well worth it), and – occasionally – Technorati.

Syndication: Feedburner and Feedblitz.

Pings: Pingomatic (pingoat no longer allows free usage of their XML-RPC server)

Authoring: Ecto for Windows (am beta testing Ecto2 which will include WYSIWYG editing), and Qumana. WB Editor2 is also excellent, but I can’t afford to register it, right now.

WP Plugins: Related Posts, Incoming Links, Top Posts, BAStats, Search Meter, and others.

Stats:
Site Meter
Techorati to see who’s linking to my blog

Syndication:
Feedburner for RSS/Atom feeds
FeedBlitz for email subscriptions

Pings:
Pingoat

Keyword/Back Link Tracker:
DigitalPoint.com

I have w.bloggar but am never sure how it will post my posts, will it ping every sevice within my blog? Also I tend to get errors in w.bloggar on all three computers that I use it on whenever I post. In the end I just use the Movable Type web interface although I am always looking for something better.

As for feed aggregators I have never really used blogolines although Darren I know you always use it. For an aggregator I have been using SharpReader or RSS bandit both seem good. I tend to do the quickpost straight out of the aggregator so that it picks up the trackback and allows me to add content to a link.

A blog editor I have found RocketPostis pretty nifty, especially the related post feature and the pull quote feature. But it has a couple of quirks that bug me. I have no luck in getting it to download the posts from one of my blogs and I cannot seem to figure out how to get it to future post.

But for those who can’t deal with html code, like my wife, it is a lifesaver.

All of the above Peter. I just like their range of features – knowing the stats is great, but they have some interesting options and features, all packaged up quite nicely.

What’s the main reason for you guys using FeedBurner, btw? Do you have the click tracking to see how popular your various headlines are, etc? Or is it just for the circulation numbers?

Mint for statistics (not free, but at $30 US it's well worth it). For authoring, editing CSS and tweaking templates and modules I use an old fashioned HTML editor called HomeSite, which was purchased by Macromedia a while back, which was then purchased by Adobe not too long ago, but it is still being supported. I just finished redirecting all of my outgoing feeds through Feedburner for tracking, and Photoshop for graphics.
