You've got it right, that's how we try to review them. > I do wonder if you dropped feeds with no post in the past 6 months off > of the to be reviewed feeds how that might affect the numbers? Hmmm, in looking at the database it shows only 15 of them waiting for approval that were last updated before May. Not exactly a huge number. In looking at the ones before the start of August the number increased to 353. Again not all that many. Sorry to say that won't cut down on the backlog. > I would much rather be working on sites with six months of history and current > feeds. That is really what it seems should be the primary target. I'd have to think about how to present that on a web page. What's tricky is handling next/prev when approving a bunch of them from a subset group. > Statistics show the bulk of sites drop within the first three months or > are never updated from that point forward. Is this anecdotal or have you measured this? At sydnic8 we actually have enough logged data to determine this but it's not something we've implemented a web page for viewing. -Bill Kearney ------------------------ Yahoo!
