In a previous blog article we wrote about how to Use RSS to stay in contact. This is a great way of getting return visitors to your site. One big drawback with RSS is it is hard to track how many subscribers and how often the feed is actually used.
A great service now owned by Google is FeedBurner. With FeedBurner you can enter your rss feed and it will create a new link that allows you to advertise. When people signup for this feed it gives you feed tracking, statistics, and more ways for visitors to subscribe.
You can also burn different feeds so you can have a main feed, certain categories, or any other option you can imagine.

From our last post a few weeks ago “Translators Wanted” we had an outstanding amount of comments, emails, and coupons given out. In the next release of 68 Classifieds we will be including the following language files:
- Bosanski
- Bulgarian
- Dutch
- French
- Spanish
Hopefully with us having all these language files it will help current and future customers from having to do a lot of work to get 68 Classifieds running in your language.

We are looking for some people that would be interested in translating a file from English to your language. For anyone that translates the file we will give you a $100 coupon good for anything on this site. We are mainly needing the following languages:
If you are fluent in a different one then we can probably extend the offer to you as well. Please contact us before translating to make sure someone else hasn’t already started.
Here is a link to the file.
Here is a link to instructions for modifying it.

We are proud to announce that 68 Mods has just been redone. The sole purpose of the new site is to help you find third-party developers, modifications, modules, payment gateways, and templates for 68 Classifieds. The new site is built entirely of 68 Classifieds v4 with a few modules added in.
The goal for this site is to help centralize all the mods in one place and making searching for a particular mod easy. Another nice feature is the ability to rate and review both modules and developers. So if you have worked with a particular developer or module then rate it so other users can see what to use and what to avoid.
