Had some trouble upgrading to WordPress 2.6

I’ve been having major troubles upgrading to WordPress 2.6. First of all it knocked out some of the plugins i use, namely Google Analytics, Robots Meta and Sociable.

Massive jump in search engine referrals

A couple of days ago talk playstation received just under 3000 keyword searched via search engines. This is a massive jump thansk to Google’s quick indexing methods.

In a months time i will post what the source...
