I talk about the newly installed plugins and why I use them. I also talk about some problems that I encounter while using these plugins so that my readers would get an idea on how these things work and eventually help them in the future in case they decide to use it.

The most important factor however is that if you write about a site and trackback, it is only of very little value even if it is reciprocated unless the overall themes of the 2 sites match, and you niche your content carefully. Unrelated reciprocal links are almost worthless even if they are followed.

I also find that be sharing what changes have been made, readers speak-up vocalizing their approval or disapproval. I [personally] value reader approval and enjoy knowing when readers enjoy change.

My blog can be down, but warning posts show up in my feedburner feed. I post that updates are complete in my blog - in hopes that if there is problems after the upgrade that I didn't notice immediately, or am too lazy or oblivious to fully test prior to continuing (time is the best testing system) - that readers are generally helpful in letting me know that there are problems. If I didn't tell them that I've upgraded, and readers receive the same error - their perception is different of the cause. I double post at my H-E.N. site all updates - firstly to help me keep track so I don't have to write it down - and yes, secondly for the blog-juice. Maybe old readers will take a second look at other existing sites in my Lot and become new readers .. it can happen. :) I post that updates are in progress in my blog – because my blog is not available during upgrades.
