This is one great advice. Although I haven’t experienced the digg effect yet, having read your post, I think I better get my site ready,just in case.

Thanks!

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by limit me to, but so far I have no really had any conflict images with any plugin I’ve used on the site. WP-Cache basically just uses a static HTML page to display your previously visited posts with the exception of any items you specifically say need to remain dynamic.

The tool itself is smart, so if someone posts a comment or you post a new post, it automatically refreshes the cache so the page is current. Pretty much the only thing you would have to worry about is something like a rotating advertising banner, which would not update properly unless you remembered to set it up right with WP-Cache.

Other then that though, it was pretty straight forward.

What did you do to get it banned? If you don’t mind me asking…I’m curious if it takes much at all for them to hand down the ban stick.

Another tip: get your domain banned like me. Digg will never get me!
