Just a Little Nip/Tuck Here and There
 

Burbank, California, where our offices are located, is a funny sort of place. It’s kind of like Hollywood’s workshop. Most of the glory goes to the actors and directors, but the real nuts-and-bolts work goes on behind the camera. It’s not uncommon around here to pass a flatbed truck piled high with giant Styrofoam rocks on its way some film location, or come across shops that rent costumes and even medieval armor and weapons to film production teams.

Here at Yahoo! Publisher Network, a lot goes on behind the user interface. Take last night’s scheduled outtage. We made lots of little tweaks that you probably won’t notice, the sort of stuff that will make it easier for us to manage the system and offer better service to our publishers.

But there are a couple of small items you may appreciate, especially if you take advantage of our extensive Publisher Services. We’ve updated our info on Yahoo! Site Explorer, the service that allows you to track links to your site(s). We’ve also added info on MyBlogLog, a useful traffic-driving and analytical service that has recently come into the Yahoo! family. In addition, we’ve updated the Yahoo! Action Buttons page.

If you haven’t explored these services before, you’ll definitely want to check them out now (or maybe have your Best Boy or Key Grip check them out for you), because they can be valuable resources in helping you create your own productions.
