Now, this is somewhat of an experiment.  Graham Langdon, founder of Entrecard, has written a post describing how he used Entrecard to drive traffic to his site, request comments and then at the end of a 3-day optimisation “cycle” he took an idea from one of his comments, made the changes and then repeated the process to see what effect it had.

I believe that reader feedback is the best way to optimise your site but clearly the greater the number of comments you can use the better.  Therefore this is a plea - please take a look around at the site, read a few posts, digg deep, but whatever you do PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT.  Preferably on this post, but on others will be great too.  As an incentive, I’ll send 250 Entrecard Credits to a random commenter on this post.

If you’ve upgraded Wordpress to version 2.6 then you may have noticed a new option in the top right hand corner, labelled “Turbo”.  Clicking this enables the use of Google Gears in your Wordpress installation, allowing offline posting - brilliant!

However, it has taken me a few attempts to get this working ok.  I encountered a few errors along the way, but they all seemed to be instances of two particular response codes - 403 and 500.  After a bit of digging around, this is how I solved them.
