Why Powerblogs is great
A little while ago, I asked Chris Lansdown, who works at Powerblogs and serves as my contact whenever I have a problem (I'm not sure whether he's really my official contact--he's the guy whose e-mail I have), whether they had a way to reference just the number of Trackbacks for a post, so that when I link to the Trackbacks section of the individual post page (rather than the separate page just for trackbacks used by default), it shows "0 Trackbacks" or "2 Trackbacks" rather than just "Trackbacks." This morning he e-mailed me to let me know that he'd added a new variable which just gives you the number of Trackbacks. I've since made use of it, as you'll notice on my posts on the front page.
Now, I don't know that Chris created the variable just because I requested it, but I suspect he did. In other news, Powerblogs has added a categories feature, which is now in my sidebar, although I haven't categorized many of my posts yet.
Seriously, if you're looking for a new host for your blog, consider Powerblogs.
