bsuite Development
bstat has become bsuite. The name change reflects the fact that I want the plugin to do a lot more than track usage stats. One of the first features to enter testing here is the “related” section below. I’m calling it “bsuggestive,” but that may turn out to be too cute a name to tolerate for long. The results are based on the tags for the post, so it doesn’t work with old posts that haven’t been tagged, and it sometimes returns some weird matches, but it’s still alpha, so what can we ask for. Though, if you arrive at MaisonBisson via a search on one of the recognized search engines, the related posts will actually be based on the search terms used. The results in those cases seem to work better, which probably says a lot about the quality of my tagging efforts.
I hope to release a public beta of bsuite in the next couple weeks, but expect to see continued development of the bsuite features here.

(FYI, in case you don’t already know this.) There seems to be a problem with your blog posts. They all start with a “WordPress database error” message.
And now it’s fixed. Boy, that was quick. Thanks!
Looking forward to this!
[...] Here’s the deal, the MATCH() function can search a full-text index for a string of text (one or more words) and return relevance-ranked results. It’s at the core of the list of related links at the bottom of every post here. [...]
[...] It looks like bstat has been localized for Japan! With that in mind, I’d love to hear from international users about what I can do to make localization easier. There will be some big changes in the transition to bsuite, and it might be a good time to make sure I’m properly supporting WP’s translation tables and localization features. [...]
Absolutely love the bStat functionality. Just implemented it at http://www.lepenseur.com/index.php and will blog about it soon.
