Valuable Plugin Lesson

by Hans Kristian Anderson on Nov.27, 2009, under Hans Kristian Anderson

Hi welcome back.

I learned a valuable lesson today that I want to pass on to you.

I installed a plugin on this blog called “add to any” it is suppose to help readers share, save, bookmark, and email posts and pages using any service. It replaced my social marker plugin that I was using previously.

Now everything looked great on my laptop and I even used the “add to any” plugin to share information from my posts to twitter.

Just to go back a step, when I turned on my laptop there was no problems loading my blog and everything was perfect.

I’ve been having problems with pinurl.com (not working) so I thought I would make sure it wasn’t my laptop so I turned my wife’s computer on.

My wife uses Internet Explorer and my blog http://worldinternetsummitspeakers.com/blog would not load properly. The right side of my blog was missing and I was unable to scroll down as the screen was frozen as it continued to try to load my blog (for the next 15 min with no positive results). When I checked my daughter’s new laptop and my friends computer down the street I got the same results.

My blood started boiling a little as I realized that my blog has been messed up. This blog worked just fine om my laptop. Now I didn’t know If it was messed up for every one or for how long but I was not happy. It may have been messed up for a couple of days or a couple of weeks ago when I last made changes to my blog with new plugins.

I thought of what I had changed on my blog recently. I added “optin pop” and the “add to any” plugins. I deactivated both and my blog was back to normal. I activated the plugin pop and it still worked properly. So the “add to any” plugin was the culprit that messed up my blog.

I don’t know if it just didn’t load properly and I may experiment a little with it because I like the plugin.

One thing is for sure from now on when I add new plugins or change anything else on my blog I will double check the changes I made on another computer. I won’t trust that any changes I make to my blog are working properly, even if everything looks perfect on my laptop.

I’m not a computer geek and I have no idea why this happened. I thought I’d pass this experience on to make you are aware of the situation and maybe help you avoid the blood boiling experience
