I have mentioned before some of the issues with I have had with spambots. I'm sure others have the same issue, especially of they use naughty words. Heh! Some folks recommend the use of Bad Behavior over Akismet or Spam Karma 2, but, I like to see what is coming through, because sometimes legit TB's […]

Beth at Blue Star Chronicles asked me about issues getting the Wp-Extreme Video Plugin to work. Considering how many other people are having problems, especially with Google vids, I thought I would drop the info I sent to her in a post. It is better to view this post in IE, rather then Firefox, because […]

OK-dokey. I have tried Gatekeeper and Anti-spam Image so far in an attempt to deal with obnoxious comment spam, mostly coming from BS blogspot site that actually make zero sense. (See this post) Problem was, anti-spam image started blocking ALL trackbacks. Gatekeeper was stopping most comment spam, except from the blogspot azzwipes (this doesn’t apply […]

Lord knows, I don’t get all that many comments, but, I really get sick of spam ones. Between either Spam Karma 2 and Askimet, which I switch between, trackback spam and comment spam is stopped most of the time. Sometimes, they catch legit trackbacks and spam, but that is like 1 in 500 or so. […]

Seems as if Favicons From Pics is back up and operating, now better then ever. You have three choices: 16×16, 32×32, and 16×16 Animated! Sweet! Got tired of the pirate flag one, wanted to switch it up a bit. Besides, it wasn’t actually the Blackbeard one, which comes out pretty poorly as a Favicon. For […]

So, you just installed that cool new theme. You sat in your PJ’s for hours, lovingly creating, working with code, checking the colors, getting things just right, and doing all those things necessary. You are so proud of yourself, and now it is time for that long overdue shower, and maybe a bite to eat. […]

Since True Fresco now charges (asshats!), I searched and found this one at blogtricks. It doesn’t show how many, like True Fresco, but, it is a start! If you use it, unless you know how to place a “wrap” type code in it, it is best to set it for no more then 25 as […]

Having converted from Typepad to WordPress, I have found all sorts of cool little things, some of which I have implemented, some not. One of the newest ones is to have a Sticky Post, ie, a post that resides at the top of all posts till you decide to replace it or do away with […]

Because I just fragged my American Flag backup site, ncdevil.com/afl in a big way. Was trying to change the htaccess file to block hotlinkers, and now get a 500 error. I cannot seem to find the htaccess file, so, buh bye to that site.
