A Script to Play With
I have just run across a script that I think will add value to several of my sites. It is a Digg Clone social bookmarking script from Pligg.com. There is a SuperCrarged Bookmarks service being offered by the SEO Forum at IMTalk.Org that uses a network of social bookmarking sites based on this script. I was involved in beta testing of the network and became familiar with the script in that way.
I have several article directory and niche sites to which I think the script could add value. I will encourage my authors to bookmark their articles and I will probably add the script on some of the niche sites to attempt to get people involved by pointing out other quality information available on the niche topic.
I have made an initial installation on a domain that I have owned for a couple of years. The installation was smooth and the script looks good. The domain was originally purchased as a host for sub-domain sites, and I have a few of these set up, but the primary domain has been underutilized. If you want to take a look it is at Here’s The Site. The domain name does lend itself to a social bookmarking site. Check it now and follow my progress. It is fairly barren at the moment.
I am beginning to work on a custom template for my installations. This will involve some modifications to the default template files and css. This is a good exercise for the old Hobby WebMaster. I have modded themes for other CMSs, but if this works out additional installations of the script will be much faster. I like to maintain the family look for sites that have several sections, even though the sections are based on different scripts. I may even offer this to the community, including a link to one of my sites.
