EZ Expert Who Sees Ads
As I had mentioned previously, I had installed the fabulous Planet Ozh Who Sees Ads plugin and I wanted to set up a demo that you could see for yourself. So I tried using the built-in ‘if ad viewed <= number of views then display’ condition. But that tracks total number of views ever — not per reader.
So I modified the plugin to add a built-in ‘if ad viewed by visitor <= number of views then display’, which uses cookies to track each reader’s number of views. Just check out this demo…
I've installed it on this site for the following 336x280 block of Adsense Ads which you can only see 2 times. So go ahead and refresh your browser twice. After the second refresh, you'll no longer see the Adsense Ads...
Did you try it? Did you refresh the page 2 times? How cool was that!
Now I also wanted to use it for the 160×600 Adsense skyscraper in my sidebar, so that you’d only see the ad if you were not a regular reader (someone who has viewed at least 2 pages over the last 10 days, but I can change this definition too), or if you arrived at this site from a search engine. The only problem was, my sidebar content is set up using widgets, and this otherwise awesome plugin didn’t come with a built-in widget. 
So I wrote my own! Yup. So if you want the widgetized version of this plugin then…

Random Words at Planet Ozh
I went over to the Planet Ozh blog to get the really neat Who Sees Ads WordPress plugin, and while I was there I came across his Random Words plugin. So I decided to give that one a whirl as well.
So I’ve just installed and enabled it and set up a demo list, which is being displayed just below…
Sentence 3: This is a demonstration of Ozh’s Random Words plugin.
Now to see it in action, just refresh your browser.
If all is working well, the Random Words plugin should produce a random sentence from a list of 3 possible sentences to display just above.
So what’s the big deal you ask?
Think “Frequently Updating Content” — you know how much the search engines like that. 
Let me know what you think with a comment below,
Paula.

My visit to Planet Ozh
Today I paid a visit to Planet Ozh to get the Who Sees Ads? WordPress plugin, and I have to say it works like a charm!
What this plugin does is to control which of your website visitors get to see your Adsense or Yahoo ads (or any piece of HTML code actually — imagine the possibilities!).
You set the conditions for who sees each block of Ad Code independently, so you have quite a lot of control. I’m going to set up a demo in another post, so you can see it in action for yourself.

This Is My First Test of ScribeFire – A FireFox Weblog Client
OK. I’m editing this post now to let you know what I think of the test…
First of all, I guess I should say what it is that ScribeFire actually does! Well basically it allows you to post to a variety of different blogs from your FireFox browser, without having to go to your blogs’ admin section directly. Pretty neat concept, but how well does it work?
Here’s the original post:
So I’ve just installed this FireFox Add-On (ScribeFire) and I’m testing it out to see how well it posts to my EZ Expert Website Tools blog.
I guess if you’re reading this, then it worked just fine!

Technorati Tags: weblog client, firefox, wordpress
Powered by ScribeFire.
Notice the “Technorati Tags:” and “Powered by” lines? The first was added to the post itself by checking an option in the ScribeFire post-writing window. The second was appended to the post automatically by ScribeFire when I clicked the “Publish” button.
Unfortunately, there’s no integration of these tags with the native tagging feature of WordPress 2.3, so I had to edit the post after the fact and add the WordPress tags myself. Also, there’s no way to control what category it posts to – everything goes into the default category for your WordPress blog.
So overall, it’s a pretty useful little tool if you can do without the native WordPress tags and don’t need to post to different categories.
Let me know what you think of ScribeFire (add a comment below), especially if you’ve used it yourself in the past.
