Actually these last three (plus RSSexplosion) are ones that I already had purchased on my own.

The GeoCities script works well and never really had any major difficulties.

The GoogleBomber and MSNblog scripts are another story. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. They can be very frustrating.

Honestly, I am not sure if it is Pete's scripts or just the fact that Google and MSN are sometimes difficult to work with. There have certainly been many times that Blogger is down and one cannot create blogs so that may be the same sort of issue with these.

So all in all, Pete's scripts do still get a B- from me. It is sad that he uses his customers as beta testers. There are virtually no error messages ever given so when the scripts hang up you are left to stare at the screen hopelessly. But for the most part the scripts do work with the latest updates. I did not have the Yahoo360 script nor the Tripod script and was pleasantly surprised to find that they seemed to work well on my computer.

As for the ones that I am having problems with, I will continue to follow Pete's forum to see if there are any improvements in the reliability of the scripts. Having said that, I suspect that if we concentrated our efforts on Blogger, GeoCities, Tripod and Yahoo360 we would have plenty of links to work with.

Again, I feel that it is important to remember that these are Tin sites. I don't spend too much time on them. I pick a script and put some words on some pages. If it works, I rinse and repeat. If it doesn't, I don't obsess over it, just move on.

I hope this helps.
