Small administrative changes
I’ve been neglecting this site for awhile in favor of other projects. Clearly it hasn’t been a priority, but I’ve been feeling the return of the muse lately, and so I’m hopeful that there will be more posts (and more frequent posts) soon.
To that end, I realized recently as I was fooling around with the site that I had locked the comments function, and that it required registration. Furthermore, I hadn’t forwarded the email address to one that I check more frequently, with the result that there were a bunch of things that required fixing this morning. So, kudos to those who perservered through the previous registration process– I’ve now eliminated that. Posting should now only require a name and email address (which won’t be visible on the site) from here on out. After receiving a boatload of spam overnight, I’ve activated a filter (Akismet) to moderate posts containing more than two links. I’ll try to investigate other options if that proves to be a problem, but so far everything looks OK.
I’ve also been meaning to upgrade to the next version of WordPress to take advantage of the latest bug fixes; I’m not sure when that’s going to happen. I should have a chunk of time to deal with it next weekend, but we all know what happens to the best-laid plans. Suffice it to say that the upgrade is on my radar, and may happen within the next few weekends.
If you notice something out of place, broken, or just plain strange, please let me know. As previously noted, I sure haven’t caught all of the annoying things in record time.
