FAQ #41: Site Updates

Question: Are you still in business? When was the last time you updated your website?


Answer: Yes, I am still in business.

And, the last time I updated? What day of the week is this? But seriously, I update this site and my software frequently.

In May of 2006, I completely rewrote my distribution software.

With that rewrite, many great things were achieved. Most of those new features will not be publicly discussed until which time I have converted all previously distributed articles into the new format.

Prior to May of 2006, I had hard-coded all articles into my website. Now, I am databasing all new articles. Once I finish migrating the first 2700 hard-coded articles to the database, then I will begin to discuss all of the new features openly.

My decision on this is a matter of consistency. I do not want to point to all of the new features until which time all articles in my directory can meet the new expectations.

When you find an article that has /db/ in the url, then you are looking at our new article display format. Click this link to view a sample. This display of the articles is what awaits all of the articles on my website.

I have hired an assistant to help me migrate all of the previous 2700 articles from hard-coding to the database format. With help, I can complete the task much sooner.


With the conversion to the new software, I have significantly expanded my ability to reach websites.

I now reach:
  • Several Article Banks
  • Multiple Article/Content Management Platforms
  • Password Protected Websites
  • At this early stage, I have added more than 100 websites to my distribution reach. That does not mean however that any article distributed by my service is guaranteed to reach all 100 of those websites. Many of these new websites only take very tightly targeted content. If your content matches the websites I can reach, then you can count on me making your articles available to those webmasters for their consideration.

    I do not try to force-feed any content to any website. Each webmaster still retains full editorial control over what may or may not appear on their website. I place content in their website, but that content will not be made public until which time the site's owner approves the post.

    I am adding new websites to my distribution rotation every week. Just this week, I was able to add three well-respected websites to my reach, and more are being added every week.


    As each new feature comes online in a global way, then I will make announcements regarding those upgrades.
