An update for TekGoblin.com

TekGoblin has been up for a little over a year and a half now and it’s been a long journey. I had a rough start between generating articles and handling increases in traffic. Things have started to smooth out for the site and this is the first time that I think that we are actually doing well. TekGoblin has hit about 830,000 visitors since its start till now at the time of writing. That isn’t really bad if you think about it, for someone starting a blog while in college and hasn’t even entered the professional world yet.

Well, we are still looking for writers on the site if you are interested, there are many perks. Perks involve conference access like E3, CES, GenCon, etc and a chance to play with new technologies. If anyone is interested in building a great blog to carry the torch into the future drop us a line at sanity[at]tekgoblin.com. Thanks!

However it seems that all the plugin can do is comments, and we all know that the default WordPress comment system does more. I am talking about pingbacks/trackbacks, Echo [...]
