New site: new future
Post Categories: Webmaster
Flexible New Deal Scandal is back! New site design is obvious, with the posts and comments still here….
We had decided to move from WordPress.com and self-host for a number of reasons. One was wordpress seems to go down more often then ever before. Another is lack of power and too much spam even with their own developed systems.
Advantages with the new site:
- New fresh-er design. Still got numerous changes to make (especially with comments – had the problem of it all listing comments (not paginated through different pages making some pages huge) meaning duplicate content)
- Stat packages… can spy on viewers more lol (only joking… wordpress.com has a nice stats package but cuts long URLS and tracks hits by image… most browsers filters small tracking images which gives lower count than actual viewers… this site tracks by pageloads, so should be more accurate)
- Better SEO. helps with Search Engines – although it really is Vs wordpress links/subdomains
- Internal Linking. With wordpress.com tags (apart from in widgets) links to wordpress.com site… this isn’t always good for your site lol and also even though you can disable it they list similar psots on wordpress blogs…a brilliant idea! However most aren’t at all that relevant to the blgo post sadly. On here we have script listing similar pages.
- Search Engine features. Listing recent search terms from Google etc. with the page they landed on. Will shortly be replacing default search at top too.
- Ratings. Rate posts, rate comments – comments should hide with poor ratings.
Some many too list lol…

CommentLuv allows you to get a link back to your latest blog post etc.
I have added caching to the site so pages should load quicker (if they don’t it is because the page isn’t cached as they get cached when it is loaded first time, expires after a set period of time and expires when a new post or comment is posted)
I have also began adding resources for jobseekers such as CV tips, job search, letter writing etc.
Most of the site is running up fine.
To the right “Common Searches” are a selection of popular terms we get from search engine traffic (it has nothing to do with the search box at the top or the Flexible New Deal search engine)
Also to the right “Top Views” is a list of the most hits a blog post has. This is “as is”.
Bottom right… the statistics and spam counter are straight forward. We have a spam plugin which has stopped the spam – let us know via email if it stops your genuine posting. These will be delayed due to caching of the site.
