Hi, I used the code shown in the tutorial with some small adaptions. These are shown here:
For some reason it will connect for 15 minutes to one hour and then it will stop connecting. This can be fixed by restarting the arduino by unplugging this. How can this be fixed? Thank you.

Are you using Arduino 1.0 or Arduino 22 IDE? This would make a difference in how the Ethernet shield gets restarted. I recommend upgrading to Arduino 1.0 and using our code examples on GitHub.
https://github.com/other/ThingSpeak-Arduino-Examples/blob/master/Ethernet/Arduino_to_ThingSpeak.ino
You would only have to make a few tweaks to get this working in 1.0.
Let us know if you figuring anything out.

I am using 0023. I found a solution to the problem (I think). It's been running for over 24 hours and still going strong. All I had to do was remove the MicroSD card that I had in the slot. For some reason this fixed it. I found this at http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=17013
Is there any way to convert a float to string? When I convert from a long to a string it is rounded to the nearest whole number. Thanks for all the help.

I found a post on the Arduino forum:
#include<stdlib.h> dtostrf(FLOAT,WIDTH, PRECISION,BUFFER);

(At the bottom of the post, that may help...)
