Major blog update
Following the 3,000 spam comments that I am in the process of deleting (20 at a time, thanks to WordPress), there are some major blog changes that will be implemented over the next 24 hours.
Firstly, the spam comments are being deleted so that they do not detract from the informational pleasure contained within.
Secondly, I’m updating the links to include some good SJA related websites I’ve discovered.
Thirdly, the password protection on the files is being removed. I’m sick to death of requests for the credentials. Also, I can’t help but wonder why St John can’t sort themselves out and get the templates to you all.
Fourthly, I’m updating wordpress to version 2.5, which will need about 5 minutes downtime. I plan to do this after 10pm tonight to minimise inconvenience. This will introduce akismet spam protection, and hopefully eliminate any more worthless comments.
Fifthly, I’m enabling the checkbox that says “users must be registered and logged in to comment” and also the one that says “comment authors must have a previously approved comment”.
Finally, I’m going to put one of my Google AdSense banners on here somewhere. I didn’t mind providing a charitable service when I was actually a member, however I haven’t been a member for 3 months now, so methinks its time to actually provide an ad-supported service!
