Here’s a list for future me to read to feel the future shame..
06 Nov *edit* made some progress!
- Intense Debate Commentluv
I need to split up the css so it’s in a separate file- I need to add a check for existence of jquery at the start and load it if not already loaded
I need to pretty up the extra url fieldI need to hide the existing url field on a logged out form and populate it with the value in the one I added with the script
- Premium Support page
- Create the different charge bands
- Create paypal buttons with IPN url
- Create said IPN receiving script
- Integrate it with the comluv affiliate plugin for paying referral site
- Premium Extras
- Create different charge groups
Create paypal buttonsCreate IPN receiving scriptIntegrate said script with affiliate payment

I won a free premium membership to WPMU Premium with the 2.0 version of Commentluv and let me tell you, it was one of the best prizes I have ever received! The plugins, themes and support forum were pivotal to getting The ComLuv Network up and running.
Having an account there is pretty much a must-have for anyone considering starting their own blog network on the WPMU platform, the support is first rate and the extra plugin and themes are what makes WPMu such a great platform to work with. My favorite plugin is the Supporters plugin which opens up the ability for you to create your own Typepad style blog network with users becoming “supporters” for your set price subscription which will allow them to have access to premium plugins using the premium plugins plugin (try saying that with a mouthfull of cheese!) and the premium themes plugin.
I’ve got all three (and more) running on The ComLuv Network and they’re already getting me subscription payments that are sent to my Paypal account every month, all I have to do is keep the site growing and provide the things that people want and it should start paying for itself and maybe make some profit before Christmas!
If you’re familiar with Wordpress then it’s just a small hop, skip and jump to upgrade to WPMu so you should take a ganders at their site and enter their contest to be in with a chance to win a years premium membership worth $419
All you have to do is visit this page and follow the instructions. Simple!

phew, I have managed to get back to the pc after a little while away and just in time (well, close) to announce the winners of the PacktPub contest.
All someone had to do was visit the PacktPub website and choose a book they want to win, link to it in the comments and post about the contest on their site.
First winner is Dominique Goh from http://www.dominiquegoh.com/ who wins a Wordpress Theme Design book by Tessa Blakeley Silver
Second winner is Kelly from http://www.myqute.com who wins the Wordpress for Business bloggers book.
well done you two! I’ll send your email addresses to packtpub tomorrow (just time for you to change your mind about which book if you email me quickly) and they will send you your books as a PDF attachment soon after.

The Contest did start and after my host managed to kill a nasty process eating thingy on the server, we have our first winner!
Witchypoo not content with winning the sneaky quick contest has continued rampaging through the contest blogs and leaving great comments, she ends up back here and wins again!
Look how the win appears in the comment.
The next prize will be available tomorrow but don’t rest your keyboard yet! the more comments you make on the day before the prize is available then the more chance you have of winning!
claim instructions are sent by the system to the email address registered at commentluv.com so now is a good time to make sure that you can receive emails from commentluv.com. You can do a lost password routine and not click the link sent to you to make sure you can receive emails from my server.
I see a lot of bounces come back from peoples mail boxes saying that it’s full, if the claim email doesn’t get through to you then you can’t claim. Check it today!

I spent the entire day (minus a 2 hour trip to the haberdashery <- don’t ask!) coding the final pages and scripts for the contest. I have the prizes up and descriptions entered. I was originally going to do 1 gadget per day for a whole month but I neglected to work in how much it would be to post them all!

A huge thanks to all those that voted for CommentLuv in the

Contest ideas

There are an ever increasing amount of comments being made every day, amazing to think it’s only been live for 4 days now!
3 people have won (1 person won twice!) already and there are going to be at least another 10 prizes to go out before 22nd Nov
I want to see if the contest page or a new one showing the current prize can attract some prize sponsors.. I put a link to buy any of the gadgets that I stock in my ebay store under each prize in the prize list and they are getting some pretty good clicks. I’ve sold more than the usual amount of memory cards in the past week and I’m sure it’s the contest doing it.
My idea is to code a widget that shows the current prize and who has donated it that can be displayed on the commentluv blogs that want to be part of the contest. I link it to a page on CommentLuv.com for the prize details including links to purchase the product at the sponsors site.
Given enough time for the contest to run, it could generate some good traffic and maybe more sales…
Maybe I can convince one of my suppliers to go with the idea and make a really good prize donation like an Asus eee PC or other fancy electronic gadget?
What do you think? I’d love to hear your opinion
