MyBlogLog - Simply Brilliant!
I didn’t really pay attention to the recent Yahoo! acquisition of MyBlogLog as I very presumptuously assumed that I knew everything about the company, as I’d installed and removed the MyBlogLog code about a year ago.
However, I just noticed that gravatar type images were appearing on my comments. At first I thought somehow I’d turned [...]
I Hate Capthcas - My New Blogging Enemy #1
Now that I’ve relented in my crusade against full text RSS feeds, I’ve decided that Captchas are now my biggest pet hate. CAPTCHA stands for “completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart†and are the usually unreadable string of text that many sites now ask you to enter before you can [...]
10Dec2006 | Everton | 0 comments | Continued1,000th Post On Connected Internet!
I was just clearing out more spam on Connected Internet and I’ve just realised that this will be my 1,000 Post! To be honest, I actually thought that I’d already passed this landmark but it was nice to actually spot this achievement.
I started blogging around 21 months so on average I’ve made around 1.5 [...]
Spam Volumes Increased This Week?
I think the reason the amount of spam getting through my blog filters has increased, is because spammers have stepped up their efforts over the last couple of days.
I deliberately don’t clean out my Google Mail spam folder so that I can see a rolling number for the number of spam messages I received over [...]
Help Please With Trackback Spam On WordPress Blog
I’m wasting about an hour a day deleting Trackback Spam which is really annoying. What’s the best way of stopping it? I’ve tried installing the Trackback validator, which has helped a bit but hasn’t stopped all the spam.
Also, how do I get the latest trackbacks to display on the Dashboard? At the moment I’m having [...]
I’ve Installed Snap Preview Anywhere
I know I keep saying I’ll concentrate on the blogging and stop tinkering with my template and customisations, but I can’t help myself. To be honest, I think I get as much satisfaction from tweaking this template as I do from posting and getting responses from readers.
My latest customisation is adding Snap Preview Anywhere to [...]
Problems With Akismet Filters?
Are any other WordPress users having problems today with spam getting through the usually infallible Akismet filters?
5Dec2006 | Everton | 3 comments | ContinuedVery Nice Wordpress Plugin - Themed Login
A couple of users pinged me via email to say that they hadn’t received their passwords after registering. Whilst I was trying to work out what was wrong, I came across James Kelly’s Themed Login Plugin. Judging by the limited amount of comments on James blog I’m guessing that this plugin is still waiting to [...]
4Dec2006 | Everton | 2 comments | ContinuedWordpress Plugins NOT To Install
Everyday there’s a new a post with ‘My Favourite Plugins’ etc, so I thought I’d be a bit different and create a list of the Wordpress plugins NOT to install.
Over, the last couple of weeks I’ve had a few big traffic spikes that have caused my Wordpress installation problems. Upgrading to the next highest [...]
Site Problems Update: Culprit Was Readers Post Plugin
I think I’ve found the culprit as the site seems a lot healthier now. I’ve disabled the Reader Posts plugin, which was showing what posts were just read by other users. I think what was happening was that because of the high load my site was under, the list of posts generated by [...]
