Akismet Slickness

I don’t know how long this option has been in Akismet, but there’s now a checkbox labeled Automatically discard spam comments on posts older than a month
.
Following the recent WordPress 2.6.1 upgrade, I noticed the option when reactivating plugins post-upgrade. I checked it, and my incoming spam trap has been squeaky clean. This is [...]

Latest, Greatest

I may get under 10 million hits a month here at this old blog; that doesn’t hinder me in upgrading to 2.6.1 WordPress. I just got finished; another flawless upgrade.

Thanks, WordPress, and Hosting Guy!

The no-change change

Well, Hosting Guy set my memory_limit while I was out; problem is, he set it to the same value it was before the change. He also increased the upload_limit, but that, I think, is not my problem.

They’re doing something

Hosting Guy has at least checked out phpinfo. Now, bump the limit already.
