You said:

“I don’t have many rules… just write a minimum of 250 words about doing something. You can include 1 link back to your own site… but you cannot include any affiliate links!”

Suppose you allow affiliate links…

Won’t many more people submit their articles to you in that case?

Just an idea!

What do you say?

That helps. I use hostgator, so I looked at my stats in webalizer, and there I can see how many visits and how many pages per day with out the clutter that gives a false number in awstats. I really like awstats, but it is easy enough to click on webalizer once a month to check on the actual visitor and page counts.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('14663','Julie from Sorority Gifts'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('14663','Julie from Sorority Gifts','Thanks, Mark.

with word press, my site includes statistics for these types of “pages”:
/ideas/searchform.php 9136

/ideas/inc-rss.php 6353

/ideas/inc-main-menu.php 6060

/ideas/inc-sidebar.php 5807

Since these are not posts or pages, their presence in the stats skews the number of pages views counted.

Can anyone tell me how to keep cpanel from listing these files.

I joined and downloaded quite a few just now. This is what I have been looking for. I am going to try to figure out how to do the thumbnail image thing with the plugin, Get the Image, using the custom fields. I just love Mark's site with the thumbnails and excerpts on the home page.

Though I can't take all the credit. I believe I learned it was more beneficial to submit to older directories first from you. ;) I'm not sure it will work on every template, but there is a plugin called <a href="http://justintadlock.com/archives/2008/05/27/get-the-image-wordpress-plugin" rel="nofollow">Get The Image</a> from Justin Tadlock that will help aid in pulling in a small image along with the excerpts. You can either specify custom fields or it will just automatically pull the first image in your post for the excerpt. This is what is used to pull the images on my theme. Another place to get awesome free images is <a>http://www.123rf.com/freeimages.php</a> The photos you see at the bottom and on the next pages are free to download for a limited time. Usually within an hour or so. Once the time expires, they become photos you must pay to get. But if you get them during the free window, you don't pay. The only drawback is that I cannot find a way to search/sort the free ones so you have to browse. However, if you spend a few minutes looking, you can rack up a great collection of high quality photos.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('14655','Melissa'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('14655','Melissa','Thanks for the mention and you\'re welcome.
