more info on the Alexa plugin

[James Sentman]

Honestly I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there are a few new gotchas in the new Alexa software. I had to make several changes to the original code to get it to work even after I had the port 80 stuff working. Keep any notes of odd things you observe and I’ve added this one to the list of stuff I should test. It’s much pickier about certain values that were previously ignored for instance. Lots has changed in it.
