Miraz introduced me to the Bad Behavior WordPress plugin some time ago, and after ascertaining that it did indeed work with a GoDaddy.com hosting account (my hosting ISP), I installed it on all of my WordPress-based sites. What Continue reading More Bad Behavior December 10th, 2006
Don’t put it on a Web site! Spammers are nasty, sneaky, conniving people. They use every tool at their disposal to gather e-mail addresses to spam.

A problem resolved becomes a new problem to resolve.
A while back, I complained that the ping and trackback features on my site wouldn’t work. I could get trackbacks and pingbacks, but I couldn’t send them. I even wrote a TrackBack Troubleshooting post about it which has become one of the most widely read
