A couple of technical blog changes and an upcoming vacation
Due to some recent increases in spam, I implemented two new Wordpress blog plug-ins that should make this blog a bit better.
First, I turned on an anti-spam comment filtering system. Hopefully no real comments will be deleted, although I have manual control over all comments so it should be fine. I have already blocked over 100 spam comments in 2 days with this new plug-in, so I’m happy.
I also added a plug-in that allows users to track comments posted to the blog. We’ll see how that works! I want to make people sign up for user accounts before posting comments because I want to see who is reading this blog and which blogs my readers are running so I can add new links. I know the value of this policy is a matter of opinion, but I think this solution is a good one overall.
Finally, I’m heading back to southern California on Wednesday for a brief vacation. We’re going back to the place where my wife and I had our honeymoon last September. I look forward to drinking a whole bunch of good wine while I’m down there!

Have a great time! Oddly enough, we are returning to our honeymoon destination in about 3 weeks! Though we are headed to Southern CA first to visit the inlaws before hoping up to Sonoma to the B&B we stayed at.

Ha ha, yes, that was a test on my part…*) I’m not actually suggesting that any of my readers need to buy cialis, but at least I know I can post comments successfully to my own blog.
I can’t wait to leave town tomorrow!! Going to CA is always a lot of fun.
