Hi y’all fellow Orlando WordPressers. Glad I discovered you.
I’m experiencing something weird lately. My blog stats have plummeted in the last few weeks. I mean, shrunk by two-thirds.
The drop is so sudden and dramatic that I have to wonder if it’s accurate.
The only thing that has changed about my blog is that I started allowing Google ads on it a few weeks ago.
It’s perplexing. If my abysmal stats continue, I can see Google taking the ads off my site because I’m now not delivering the numbers they require.
That doesn’t bother me. But I’d sure like to know what’s going on….

I’ve just finished setting up my blog. http://www.crystalsingingbowls.ca/energy_talk/
I’m very proud of it because I’ve done it from scratch to match my website. I’ve added and customized some plugins. I’ve just purchased the pro version of the Event Calendar and now looking to integrate Eventbrite into it. Unfortunately, I’m having problems with EventBrite integration but I’m working on it.
I look forward to joining you in person between Nov and Apr ( a beer sounds good). Until April, I’m in Ontario. -

Changing Category Names without breaking links?
Hey all, thought I’d toss this out there to see if anyone has an easy solution. I’m in the process of restructuring a blog which will entail renaming categories, and moving some posts from under one category to another. Is there a plugin or easy to way to make sure none of the previous links will break?
I’ve done some googling and all I can seem to find are plugins for updating if you change the permalink structure. Unfortunately I’m keeping the same structure, just renaming/moving things.
Suggestions?

WP Admin Panel Pattern for Balsamiq
I don’t often use prototyping tools, but I have many clients and colleagues that swear by Balsamiq.
So, to make everyone’s lives a lot easier, here is a free pattern for developing WP admin panel wireframes in Balsamiq.Get it here:

Canonical Plugins
I was doing some housekeeping on a bunch of sites I maintain and noticed that I don’t really have any plugins that I ALWAYS use. There has been some talk of canonical plugins in future releases of WP and I was curious if anyone out there installs any specific plugin over and over again on every site.

Anyone have any suggestions for next month’s meeting?
Do you want to go to the brewery again?

- WP 3.0 and 2010 theme progress.
- Upcoming WordCampsThe brewery is good by me. Always open to other suggestions though.

I’ve been keeping up with the 3.0 progress (especially the Woo Nav integration), so that’d be cool to discuss.
If no one suggests a different meeting place over the weekend, I’ll schedule the March meeting for the brewery.

if you are using the get_permalink($id) and get_category_link($id) functions then nothing will break. If they are hard-coded paths then you’re SOL

Update, guess you learn something new everyday. Apparently WordPress has something built in to handle this. I changed all of my category names and moved categories around to different containers, and the old original links still work just fine. Pretty cool. I’m just curious if they are doing 301 redirects automatically or it’s something else going on.
