blogthing

IanD: oh, it looks like the 1.5 version of that was released today. Neat. Thanks for the heads-up.

This looks completely and utterly awesome, and is very similar to something i’ve been thinking over for a couple of days (which would have only been completely, but not utterly, awesome :)).

It’s throwing an error for me at the moment, but blogthing runs a hacked version of WordPress, so i’ll put the blame on myself. Something to play with when I get home from work.

Can someone explain how the XFN relationships work? Can the relationships by uni-directional? Why the emphasis on discretely distributing PeerIDs?

Actually this:

seems to do pretty much what I was intending to do. It includes the “magic tokens” (peer IDs) to grant (and revoke?) access to the lists, and allows them to be shared around. I’ll be off playing over there for a bit.

But mod_security looks quite good too. I’ll need to play with that. Thanks.

FWIW, it seems as though neither of those two plugins will work with 1.5 (please correct me if i’m wrong).

Given that as of the time of writing, i’m seeing more than 1 spam comment/trackback every 10 seconds across the various blogthing sites, i’m getting a little frustrated. The vast majority are being dealt with by Spaminator, but I guess it’s got to the point where I should be writing some distributed blacklist plugin, or, at least, sharing the data around a bit.

Ain’t spam grand?

You may want to look into the staticize-reloaded plugin to help reduce server load. But, having said that, 600 page views a day really shouldn’t be anything close to being an issue for the host.

I’ve heard good things about Zempt on Windows (but I use MarsEdit on the Mac, so I haven’t actually used it).

A woo to whoever changed the logo on www.remarpro.com.

And a yay to Matt for hitting 21. Double-yay, infact.

Yeah, what Roman said. We can get you sorted at https://www.blogthing.com/ if you need some bits shifted. It would be an honour.

Hooray for OS X’s built-in DigitalColor Meter!
