I started bStat in 2005 when I ported my blog from pMachine to WordPress and needed to bring over the tools I’d built to identify popular stories and recent comments. I renamed it bSuite when I added tagging and other features to it. Now it’s bSuite 3.

Update: bugfix release b2v7 available.
It’s been a while since I released a new version of bsuite, my multi-purpose WordPress plugin. I’d been hoping to finish up a series of new features, but those have been delayed and this is mostly just a collection of bugfixes. This update is recommended [...]
I’m not running it here (only because I’m too lazy), but I was happy to find Arne Brachold’s Del.icio.us - Bookmark this! WordPress Plugin. It puts a sweet Bookmark on del.icio.us link whereever you call this function: <?php dbt_getLinkTag(?Bookmark on del.icio.us?); ?>
Arne also wrote the Google sitemap plugin I use (though it turns out I’m [...]

The first thing we all have to agree on is that bsuite is the replacement for bstat. The name change reflects that fact that the plugin is doing a lot more than simply track page loads. The most exciting new feature is a module I can’t help but call [...]
bsuite, the follow-up to bstat, now includes a module called ?bsuggestive? that recommends related posts based on the current post’s tags or alternate posts based on your search words when you arrive from a recognized search engine.
That is, bsuggestive does two neat things:
First, visitors will see a section in each post with links to other [...]
I wrote bsuite_speedcache to reduce the number of database queries I was executing per page load. By implementing it on some of the content in my sidebar, I dropped 35 queries for each cache hit. That might not seem like much, but it should average about 525 queries per minute that that my host server [...]

About
?Blogging? typically connotes short-form writing that needs little internal structure, but that’s no reason to cramp your style. As people start to explore WordPress’s Pages feature, it seems likely that we’ll need a way to structure content within posts or pages sooner or later. That’s why I’m working on bsuite_innerindex.
It’s a WordPress Plugin that puts [...]
I’m a big fan of the WP Geo plugin, but I want more.
My biggest complaint is that I want to insert coordinates using Google Maps or MultiMap URLs, rather than insert them in the modified story editor. So I wrote a bit of code that reads through the URLs in a post, finds the ?maps.google? [...]
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 [...]
[[pageindex]]UPDATE: shout outs to Zach, Cliff, Justin, and Thomas who’ve submitted bug reports. Their feedback has been rolled in to the B4 July 20 release, available now (look for the link below).
This is likely the last release before the code gets bundled into bsuite (more details on that later).

UPDATE: bstat has been updated.
Beta 2 never went public. This is beta 3.
Changes
This documentation supersedes any previous documentation.
The bstat_pulse() function has been improved and now uses your CSS for appearance. Call bstat_pulse_style() to add my default styles inline if you don’t want to modify your CSS. Also, bstat_pulse() now has two switches to control [...]
