Podcast Spot launched a year ago today, if you can believe it! I still can't. It's been an interesting year, to say the least. We'd like to say thanks to everyone who has supported us over the last twelve months, and especially to all the podcasters who call Podcast Spot home. You're the reason we're here!

We have lots of plans and ideas for Podcast Spot, so I have no doubt that our second year will be even better than the first. If you have any feedback or suggestions, we're always eager to hear from you.

Thanks again, and happy podcasting!

The stats system is now back online so you can expect your completed download stats to appear or catch up. We've done a lot of testing to make sure the system is stable and fast (and bug-free) but if you notice anything that doesn't seem right, please let us know by posting to the forums or emailing us.

This is the first update towards rehauling the statistics. More to come soon!

We should now be up to date on completed download statistics but you can still expect future statistics to be delayed. We've found a glitch that is causing some noise with the rest of the system so we have turned the stats system back off until it can be fixed.

We expect to have this resolved by Thursday or Friday. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We're overhauling the way we process completed downloads and as we transition to the new system, we need to turn off processing for a day or two. As such, you'll find your completed downloads unusually low but don't worry, we're still keeping track of them and they'll show up once we turn the system back on. Your attempted downloads will not be affected.

The new system will allow for more real-time completed download statistics (up to the hour) as well as improved accuracy.

This is one of the many updates that will be coming to your statistics over the next few weeks so stay tuned!

Tonight we deployed a relatively small, but useful feature. Instead of being forced to show the two latest episodes on the front page of your podcast site, you now have some options! You can choose from the following:

• Display the 2 most recent episodes (default)
• Display the 5 most recent episodes
• Display the 10 most recent episodes
• Display episodes from the last seven days
• Display episodes from the last fourteen days
• Display episodes from the last thirty days

For more information, check out this thread on the forums.

We also updated our release history page which was horribly out of date.
