the battle upwards
its like this long windy hill of new css i have to figure out. let me tell you, the hill that was once near a 90 degree slant has finally decreased. I’m chugging along at a annoying slow pace on a 40 degree incline. but progress is progress at least.
i think i like wordpress so far. unlike moveable type its all php, but i think its far less customizeable than moveable type but i dont realy know for sure cuz i dont use it. the interface for wordpress isnt the most spectacular but its pretty simple and to the point. i’m sure with time they will spiff it up.
and wtf??? whats with the fucking spam comments? how fucking annoying is that. my blog has been up 2 days and not even really up, mostly just me constantly refreshing with paragraphs of post containing “blah” and “doobie doo” just so i can get it working. and yet, im getting TONS of comment from spamming advertisements for texas holdem poker and online casinos. you fucking cunts… goddamn the internet sometimes.
okay so back to more uphill driving, i need to get the rest of my website online.. wow to think, im actually going to finish one for the first time in possibly 5 years?

How the hell did they find your site to spam it? My blog hasn’t gotten one spam post yet (other then joel’s). Might want to see if wordpress has a plugin to require a simple math problem challenge, or image challenge to post.
yah i looked into this, evidently a few ppl with MT are also getting spammed. erik (sweedish) has 2 friends who are MT users and were having spam issues.
i was reading through the WP forums to find out if there was a fix for the spam issue, apparently, spam bots target the file wp-comments.php and thats how they can mass spam WP users. not sure how theyre doing it to MT users. the fix is basically to rename the file and to reference the new filename.
i havent done this yet, but the spam has almost stopped, i got like maybe 2 total.
