Site Updates

I have finally upgraded inkBlots from WordPress 1.5 to 2.05. The main migration was painless, but the little details took a couple of hours to iron out.

From your perspective, gentle reader, you shouldn’t see any real changes, save for the comment form. I switched from using a CAPTCHA to trying the spam catcher by Akismet.

If you do spot something that is broken, however, please let me know. And, as always, thanks for dropping by.

November 3 Update:  More changes, including the theme of the site.  (Your feedback welcome!)  Akismet caught 248 spam in 48 hours, but also let through a half dozen spam messages.  I’ve moved back to a CAPTCHA to try to slow the spammers down.

    Nice work. I noticed that the Sites Updates link from my RSS feed brought me to a bogus page with a corrupted search window. This might have happened because your page slug changed and my RSS feed is out of date? I think adding a distinct icon for your comments feed would be useful because it clearly points out to new users where your comments are. Just my $0.02.

    Thanks for the feedback. I’ll add the comments feed when I get a chance… good call.

    I think you’re right about the slug change, although it’s a hard thing to reproduce. Thanks for being patient as I get the kinks ironed out.
