Took a couple of tries, but it looks like the import from my WordPress backup is finished on the new server. All previous posts and comments should be in here now.

Testing the new iPhone app
July 22nd, 2008 § 1
The new WordPress iPhone app is out! I am writing this from my iPhone and it appears to work well. This will certainly make posting on my blog while on the road easier.
Wish I had known this sooner

I just found the instructions for automating a WordPress upgrade via Subversion.
This sounds really neat. I think I am going to try it. I know manage three different WordPress sites and finding even that low number is a pain to upgrade easily when new versions come out. This method sounds like it can take a lot of that pain out of the way. Especially as I add more WordPress sites to my maintain list.
What I would really like is figure out how to automate this with AppleScript & Shell Script so I can just double-click an icon, type in what version to upgrade to, and have the whole thing done with no intervention.
Sounds like a good little project to learn UNIX shell commands. For all of my computer knowledge, I know next to nothing about UNIX and shell commands. Might as well start now and expand my knowledge. I will share my experience with this on here in the near future.
Akismet Worst Offenders plugin
June 23rd, 2006 § 0
Ever wanted an easy way to sort through all of that spam caught by Akismet (just now, I had to look at 175 spam comments since yesterday)?
Akismet Worst Offenders plugin is just for you. It groups your suspected spam comments by IP address or web site. Then a delete button allows you to easily delete those bulk spam comments right away.
The results are a lot less spam comments to filter through, which allows you to make sure no legiminate comments are captured by accident.
Fantastic plugin and I imagine it will become part of the regular Akismet plugin very soon.
The spam invasion
June 4th, 2006 § 0
Some asshole decided to start spamming my blog.
Over 6,000 spam comments have been sent to my blog the past three days. That is three times the amount I had since restarting this blog over a year ago.
Only two slipped through and those two were held for moderation. That is right, out of over 6,000 spam comments, not one actually made it onto the site.
That to me is a miracle. And I owe it all to a little WordPress Plugin that wrecks any chances of spam coming in. Thank you Akismet!
