Staff has said that keep track of suggestion made via the feedback form and jude new features based on that. Well, except for Latex. ;)

Great would be, if it could show a little thumbnail of the image of that post (if there was one).

Also it should have some options, if there weren't a post on that day, or more on one day, and so on... But no textlinks at all (or maybe as an option), because people tend to click pictures more than textlinks.

After all i just talk about my needs, or wishes. Other people have surely different ideas for a widget like that.

http://www.widgetsblog.net/tools/let-your-blog-readers-know-what-happened-a-year-ago/

Because all the old but good content is almost burried in time, and that would help to digg it out the old box of our blogs and make it easier accesible for new users. Wouldn't it? :)

This gives people in ALL time zones a reason to check your blog. My best week ever was when I posted every six hours around the clock, but I wrote just the same amount of posts as ever.

Local blogs should be timed for when people are at work and that brief pre- and after-dinner period. No sense posting when they're asleep.

I've also noted that if let my articles out spacing them an hour or two apart on week days that this will increase stats too. The best days of the week for my blog tend to be Wednesdays and Thursdays.

That keeps 'em coming back.

But, the stats weren't below 500 for months, though i know about the ups and downs on weekends. Feedstats seems normal, around 100.

But maybe it's also because i stopped publishing every day, and try to have 1 or 2 days off blogging in a week. It seems people generally don't like that so much, at least for my type of content. Because the pvs dropped from approx 800 to 600 in two months, since i started this.

It's not a long weekend or something where your readers are? That sends it right through the floor. Also, check your feed stats; sometimes when Google or WordPress or one of the other demigods tweak things, hits move from our regular stats to our RSS stats.

What this plugin really does do, is bring up a list of posts links that were published 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, ect ago. Simple thing really, but brings up an easy list of posts that happened on that day in history. I know wordpress.com isn't really that old, but there are several of us that have brought over blogs that go back as far as early 2001.

This would be a great addition in my opinion. Thanks for listening.
