UPDATE: Disabling trackbacks didn’t work for old posts. I just got another 20 or so spambacks since writing this post. Urgh
Well, Akismet has not learnt about the hundreds of near identical trackback spam posts I have had over the past could of days. So I am disabling them all. And yes, I did report every […]
Now, those of us who use the excellent WordPress are lucky to have ‘Akismet’ protecting us from spam through comments and trackback. It usually does a great job.
I don’t know quite how it works and learns how to tell spam from a legitimate post, but recently it’s really been letting me down.
Over the past few […]
Here’s a neat little slideshow which Steve Garfield pointed me to after finding it in the Boston Globe. Designer David Armano says “it’s all about experiences that are enhanced by conversations and community, making consumers active participants in the process” which is a great idea.
References within the slideshow include YouTube, Twitter, Dell and BlogHUD! […]
Now, I have been battling with this on and off for ages. Soon Google will be moving all ‘old’ Blogger accounts over to their Google Account system. This means that all those people who have third party applications to post to their blogspot Blogger accounts will need to switch over to the Google login and […]
I see that Wordpress.com blogs now have more ‘code’ options to go with the ability to embed YouTube and Google videos. They have added SplashCast and DailyMotion. (I’ve only heard of one of those, and then only recently)
I’m eager to find out what the process is for getting on that list, as I have some […]
OK. So I have recently built a new tagging system for podcast.com (which is inches away from a big overhaul) and a few other sites I build, and I wanted to ask you a question:
Which would be the preferable ‘delimeter’ to post multiple tags?
Spaces (with quotes to enclose multiple words)? Eg: cat furry “my pet” […]
Hi. Is there anyone out there who knows if it’s possible at all to embed a flash movie in a Wordpress.com blog post? I see that not so long ago they added a ‘way’ to post YouTube flash to a post, but that would have had to been done like a ‘deal’ due to demand, […]
When you log into bloghud.com and access your member profile (by clicking your name at the top of page) and go to add your external blogs, you will be asked for the url to your Wordpress blog, when you select the Wordpress type.
No need to add http:// when you enter the url. And please enter […]
By jove it works!! I nearly have the old blogger API verison running too. Need to build the UI on bloghud.com for people to manage their blog accounts. I already have a system for people to set a password here for bloghud.
The cool thing is, is that I can use the Second Life user […]
Woo! While my back has been turned away from my blogHUD system, which lets people post blog posts and publish rss feeds to bloghud.com, I found these articles on it. Cool! And thanks!
