Sat down at my favorite wifi-enabled cafe (Yellow Hauz) for 5++ hours and voila &#8230; version 0.3 is born!<\/p>\n<p>Improvements in version 0.3:<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n1. Corrected the bug that displays an error message in a post when viewed or previewed for the first time. (Thanks <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailycontests.info\/\">Richard<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>2. Corrected the bug that includes unpublished and deleted posts in the sidebar widgets.<\/p>\n<p>3. Included an option to record post views without displaying the counter.<\/p>\n<p>4. Automatically inserts a list of Top Ten Posts for the Day in the admin homepage (see sample image).<\/p>\n<p>[photopress:toppostsadmin_1.gif,full,centered]<\/p>\n<p>5. Added an option to adjust the date when post views are recorded in case your webhost resides in a different timezone.  Just enter the time offset in the $OFFSET variable in the plugin.  (Thanks <a href=\"http:\/\/www.go.id.au\/\">Gary<\/a> for the idea)<\/p>\n<p>6. Did several code improvements to speed up performance and lessen SQL queries.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m kind of beating myself up for not correcting all these errors sooner.  But I promise you, this release is pretty solid.  If you&#8217;ve been using version 0.2, it&#8217;s highly recommended that you upgrade to 0.3.  This has been tested on WordPress versions 2.0 up to 2.2.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t tried this plugin, please do so!  It&#8217;s a great tool for tracking how well your posts are performing per day especially if you&#8217;re into keyword optimization.  If you don&#8217;t know what that is, suffice to say that it&#8217;s a great reason to obsess about your stats.  \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>To download the plugin, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alleba.com\/blog\/2007\/03\/27\/wordpress-plugin-daily-top-10-posts\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided to address a number of the complaints and suggestions some readers made about my Daily Top 10 Posts WordPress plugin.
