03.28.06Experimenting with Lightbox for WordPressMost of the pictures in this blog are thumbnails with a bigger version of the picture behind it. If you click the picture it will simply open the large version in a blank page. There is a nice java script based plugin for WordPress that gives a bit of extra functionallity for pictures. When you click a thumbnail the bigger version will open on top of the same page with the rest of the page "dimmed". The question is: what do you think?

11.06.05Fighting spam in WordPressA quick update on the situation I have been using BotCheck to fight comment spam on this site. After a while I realized that BotCheck also killed all trackbacks. So, I deactivated BotCheck and installed "Bad Behavior". Still, after a while some spam got through. To prevent that I installed SpamKarma 2. After I installed SpamKarma I have had absolutely no spam, and one single case of a trackback that was stopped unintentionally. So - basically I am happy as can be. Bad Behaviour + Spam Karma 2 = No Spam

09.02.05Problems with BotCheck and trackbacksI just noticed why trackbacks have been failing on my site. The plugin I have been using to prevent comment spam, BotCheck have been stopping trackbacks. In my quest to solve this someone recommended using a plugin called Bad Behaviour instead. So, I have just deactivated BotCheck and activated Bad Behaviour. Trackbacks should be back working fine, and I will report back later on how this new plugin prevents both comment spam and trackback spam.
