Not my favourite thing to do when I’m busy with my exams, completing paper work for the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2008 World Finals in France and working out stuff for the my Visa Application to France but yes, apparently this blog “killed” the dreamhost server I’m hosted on.

I checked up my statistics and it seems that my blog had 1106 hits yesterday. No brownie points for guessing that my post “AIEEE results are out” is to blame They guy at DH Support did see that I had WP-Cache on but evidently that wasn’t enough. He told me to get WP-SuperCache so I did. I replied and well, unlike what he said, site wasn’t up immediately and since I need the site accessible now for certain reasons, I had to manually remove the deny from all line they had added to my .htaccess Sorry about that but I waited almost an hour before doing that

As a test, I think I’ll add some adverts (though its against what I believe in) to that one post. That’s it. Lets see what happens. Though I’m already running out of time. Hopefully google will respond soon 1106 hits in one day is good enough for me to put ads up. May be I’ll put 3 ads on that page and just one on others and people who are regular here get no ads at all. There is a nice plugin I found to do that. Its called Friends don’t let friends see adverts. Lets see what I can pull up

I also added google analytics to get a better picture of what’s going on with visitors on my blog.  I have dh stats but I can’t actively access them. I need to switch off fancy linking in wordpress Also, google analytics is a lot more detailed and attractive =p
