Pingback's solution

It's pretty sad that 99% of pingbacks are just spammy links from blogs who just take whole content for the site or hotlinked our images.

The idea of pingback is pretty good but again because of selfishness of people nature it is going to be just other form of spam.

Just got idea to make some plugin to allow pingbacks only from blogs form blogroll.
This is not the best solution because it great to be notified about links from new blogs.
But this the best I can see for now.

If you know something better please let me know.
Thank you very much !

Too much or not too much of advertising ...

Here is letter we got recently
I wonder if it has something to do with all of these advertisements on your website. That's all I see and maybe that's the point of your website. Sorry but I won't be looking at this site very much - it seems to be controlled by too many advertisements.
This is really bad sign - if readers can't get information on site there are something wrong with that site.

But again everybody understand that such a free media can exist only because advertising.
Without it there no option to write, publish and support free publications

How can we determine when it's too much or not to much ads on site?

Fashion Week Results - Post Idea

Spring fashion weeks are over. Paris was the final stop. And what is now? Spring fashion reviews are finished and I think we should make our Great final post about this:) I hope that it will be as popular as Fall/winter fashion trends;) Especially in spring.

I guess we should add the main keywords to the title : "Spring Fashion Trends right from Fashion Week" - I'd like to hear your ideas.

There can be one main post with links to the fashion weeks posts - and one post about every fashion week with one "best pick" from every designer - with our comments - what we like about this item. As well we can add links to our posts - reviews from fashion weeks.

So, what do you think?
