WordPress 3.1 was officially released today and, being the foolhardy fool that I am, I’ve upgraded SEB to it without so much as backing up my database. Mainly because my database is too big for most of the backup options in WP to work. That and the fact that I first tested it on a . . . → Read More: SEB is now running on WordPress 3.1. You may have noticed that I’ve removed the ability to edit comments for the moment. The Ajax based plugin I was using wasn’t working for everyone and it’s since gone commercial. I’ve yet to find an alternative solution that is both 1) updated relatively recently and 2) easy to install. The one prospect I did . . . → Read More: Puttering around with SEB.
After ***Dave asked me which plugin I was using for the HTML toolbar above the comments (it was Comment Form Quicktags) I was reminded that the WP Admin side of that plugin has never worked for me. So I checked to see if there was a newer version and it’s not been updated in a . . . → Read More: Testing out a new Comment Toolbar thingy. Just a quick note to let you guys know we’re running on the latest release of WordPress. I haven’t had a chance to look over what’s new in this version, though I understand it now supports multiple blogs from just one installation of the script is one of the biggies. I already have all the . . . → Read More: We’re running on WordPress 3.0 now. Not sure why, but for the past couple of days several comments left by SEB regulars have ended up in the Akismet spam queue.

In the meantime if you . . . → Read More: SEB’s spam filter is being overly aggressive at the moment. I’ve had a lot of requests for a post on how I moved my ExpressionEngine blogs over to WordPress so here it, finally, is. And, no, it doesn’t really take 64 steps. The problem with moving from EE to WordPress is that while WP has an impressive selection of importing tools for various platforms built . . . → Read More: Moving from ExpressionEngine to WordPress in 64 easy steps. Most of the changes are to the back end of the sight, there’s a new built-in image editor and deleted posts and comments go into a trash bin before being deleted, so if you only ever see the front end you shouldn’t notice much difference. But, as always, there’s a chance for weirdness so let . . . → Read More: SEB is now running on WordPress 2.9. As you can see, if you’ve stopped by the site instead of reading its RSS feed, I’ve got a half-assed port of the old SEB template moved over to WordPress. It’s missing a few things here and there, but it appears to be functional so I wanted to try it on the live site and . . . → Read More: Preliminary SEB templates are in place. |

It's like a SPAMQUAKE!
We jumped from a low of 23 last October to a record high this month of 2,056. I just cleaned out another 154 from the spam queue and there’s already 3 new ones . . . → Read More: SEB is getting hammered with comment spam lately.
