Moderation in all things
…at least temporarily, until my internet connection is back up and running and I can upgrade and install a plugin to kill the spam comments. Sigh. There’s always a few who spoil things for everybody else, isn’t there? I’m sure that actually spam doesn’t really work, it’s just the triumph of hope over experience (except for those who are selling to the would-be spamming millionaires, of course).

I have WP2 on my other (newer) personal blog, and you are right Akismet has been brill (as we say). Unfortunately I am currently reduced to a painful 16.8kbs dial-up connection, as my ADSL line seems to be broken. Oh well.

Update: it wasn’t the line, it was the modem bit of my modem/router (the wireless network in the house was fine), so I’ve had to replace it. [Sigh] More expense. Oh well - the replacement cost half what I paid for the original two years ago. Now online again (cool: 3Mbs downstream and 0.4Mbs upstream - not bad considering how far I am from the exchange). The Egg has been upgraded to WP2.0.2, Akismet activated, moderation off, and I await the results…
