In general, the site of banned sites is ‘bought in’ from WebMarshals centrally maintained list , so I would expect this ban to have a substantial (but not crippling) effect on Damiens Google Analytics Stats. And that’s before we get into the ethics of not trusting well paid employees to manage their own time.

Richard has mentioned a couple already - the problogger theme for example is a nice one as it makes your content a lot more accessible. You can see it in action on blogcookbook.com at the moment - catch it quick before I migrate away from Wordpress! Michele Paul

I had the related-posts plugin activated; around the same time I had possibly unrelated DB problems (fairly heavy load). I'm not sure if one caused the other , but getting the time to investigate is another matter. Paul Richard,

I would suggest adding something like a related posts plugin. I cant remember the name off hand (it might be 'related posts'), but it adds links to a number of related posts at the end of each post page. Recent comments plugins (that display in the sidebar) are also good for increasing page-views. The page navigation plugin is more to do with how you distribute pagerank within your site - it should help you keep more pages in the primary index. Rgds Richard Hi Paul
