There’s no traffic info unfortunately, since it ranks too low. Fortunately, there is Google Analytics for that purpose.

As an added benefit, I’ve added Sitelogr Pagerank button to Links. It is based on Google Pagerank, an algorithm that calculates “page value” by means of “link structures” of the Web itself. So far, the result is satisfactory, but what’s exactly the input for the algorithm?

It uses score and ranking system. The more incoming traffic from version 3.0 to Blogarama, and the more outgoing traffic from Blogarama to version 3.0, the higher the score and the ranking. So, help me out here, guys.. click, click

I’ve wrote about Wordpress when I started version 3.0, so I won’t put too much writing in this post. As my Blogspot was made over recently, courtesy of Blogger’s new template collection, I’ve reaffirmed its continuation. Overlapping will inevitably occur in the future, but a series of measures are already taken such as counter-linking, twitter-feedburner updating, and single-day posting (for future archival, publication, and merger purposes).

Hopefully, those will help to anticipate future problems.

Since my homepage renewal to version 3.0, I have found several interesting development with my favorite web hosting company. They now run “green” hosting environment, and as such made my web site “green” as well. So what do they do with this “green hosting” thing?

So, 1&1 has attempted to carbon-neutralized its energy use by purchasing carbon-offset certificates. This huge energy use from its data center in Lenexa, Kansas are being carbon-offset through a partnership with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF). 1&1 are purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from BEF. According to BEF website, 1 REC represents 1-megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity generated from renewable energy and delivered to national power grid. Thus, 1&1 is “offsetting” its energy use (from which resulted in carbon emission) through purchasing renewable energy (in effect, neutralizing its carbon emission).

1&1 claims that its renewable energy purchase for its data center is enough to power at least 300 U.S. homes for one year.

1&1 and BEF took a step further by working in tandem with Green-e. Green-e is a voluntary certification program for renewable energy. It certifies environmental commodities and products that mitigate climate change and build a sustainable energy future. As such, 1&1’s green hosting environment has been reviewed by an independent party for its validity and soundness.

As an added value to version 3.0, I have put the green hosting badge on the side bar.

Hence, the idea for putting on of what would become a side billboard. I put f0101’s prepackaged Ads widget on the side bar. Currently, it just show you WooTheme’s advert, but I’ll use some other services in addition to it. While the WooTheme ads is static, I think WooTheme has been satisfactory until this time, so I don’t mind placing static advert there. If you think you can use WooTheme’s service, please get it through the links here on version 3.0. You’ll get great templates and I’ll share your happiness as well.. hee.. hee..
