MTCloseComments

February 27, 2006

One of the things the MT upgrade was supposed to tackle was comment spam, lately I've gotten junkified spam, words make no sense, link goes to nowhere. Tonight I got slammed with about 15 hits in 2 minutes. Can't do auto close comments because MT depreciated the feature that it needs, real smart, yet spam is still coming through. I was NOT looking forward to going through 6 months worth of posts and closing them one by one. Luckily MTCloseComments works like a charm, I have it set to close comments older than 5 days and that have had no response in 3, I *may* change that. For now, I'm protected.

Linking back revised

January 30, 2006

Ok, I just realized something. If someone is in the ring, fitroll and directory, that's 3 links back and maybe overkill. So I'll reword the directory text and approval process to read, a link back in any of the 3 formats is acceptable. Linking back with the unique url was really optional, all it does is rank peeps on the popular site list, but starting today a simple link back to the directory or blog is fine and dandy.

Linking back

January 26, 2006

I didn't work on any of my ongoing to do things, I actually didn't plan to get online @ all, but ended up revising the wording on the directory side. After having 6 sites still sitting in the queue after 7 days of not adding a link back, I've removed the add a link page and replaced it w/a landing page explaining that link backs are mandatory. If people agree and still want to apply, they can click onto the add a link page from there.

This *should* cut down on me having to email mail people and constantly checking their sites for links. i'll let this run for about a month and see if it goes. By March, I'm going to do a quarterly check on all directory links, weeding out dead, discontinued or off topic sites and going thru all the earlier sites that haven't linked back and emailing them asknig for them to do so. I'll give them till the next quarter, 3 months, to do so and if they haven't I'm removing them too.

Not to be harsh but linking back is where it's at. Ok lame, but I'm tired.

To add in Feb news, linking back, webring & fitroll
