@Whitney…

No problem. There's a ton of these type posts floating around in the blog-o-sphere, but I guess it is more relevant when coming from someone you've interacted with.

Thanks so much for this post Jeff – it is very timely and well laid out. I appreciate you taking the time to put it together, it will help the rest of us fledgling arcade bloggers produce a better product.

I think I installed WordPress Stats when it was first featured on Weblog Tools Collection, but found it to be highly simplistic for measuring trending.

But now there is Analytics 360 by Crowd Favorite, commissioned by MailChimp I believe. Pulls in data from Google Analytics. Graphically really nice, not as in depth as the original, but good for a snapshot of current traffic.

You’d think for how many updates and for how in depth cforms is the developer would be able to get around whatever the issue is in using automatic updates. I think after school is done, I also will look at other options, there are pages in the repository now…they can’t all be bad can they? Especially since we’re not the only ones frustrated I am sure.

I haven’t tried the admin drop down menu plug-in. Might have to give that a shot. I use Cforms as well and have similar complaints. My biggest complaints…the frequency of updates and the inability to auto-update. I’ve looked at several alternatives but haven’t found anything I like.

Good choices! Askimet, All-in-one, and Sitemaps are standard installs for me, as well.

Additionally, I’m a fan of WordPress Stats, its nice to have that info at a glance from within the dashboard, even if you are running other analytics.
