Yeah, I know, but for me it’s just too cumbersome to set up a localhost web server and MySQL database, then migrate the data from the WP Database etc. and then after finishing the redesign just leave it and never use it on my machine until 1-2 years has gone by and I need to redesign again… ??

Thanks for the reply btw. ??

A simple plugin / option in WordPress could help “common” users:

It should allow for a user-defined number of seconds, where the submitting is disabled (simple javascript on the submit-button on the front end). A timestamp should be set and sent to the system upon submitting (hidden field). WordPress should then check if the amount of time between the page load and the submit is less than the user-defined time. If so, the comment should not go through and an error displayed.

This would prevent bots, that reads out the rendered HTML and works through the headers, and potentially hired humans that won’t spend 10-15 seconds on your site – right?

And, I just tested the javascript way. It still forces a <br /> after the <object> tag and all kind of things. I guess the only option is an <object> tag without any parameters, even though this is undoable…

It seems (for me anyway) like Worpress forces a br or p straight after the object-tag, causing parameters to be thrown out of order and the site not to be valid XHTML. It also forces the parameters to be on one line each, even though I’ve tried to stack the object & parameter tags together without any line breaks in the WP editor. Don’t know how to solve this. Perhaps a javascript that writes out the code, but that would be too darn cumbersome…

I have the same problem. I just installed the plugin called “The ultimate tag warrior” but even there everything seemed fine up until a certain point. Now I can’t seem to find any of my posts on Technorati. Didn’t know if I could before though. Perhaps my blog name “[?°}” could be the culprit, but then again, curly’s web site has a “normal” name… I’m lost here, since I’m not that of an expert when it comes to tags, pings, etc. %-[

Great plugins you make!
(And I’m not being ironic here – I mean it…!) ??

I want to add to the problems: When installing the plugin, and doing a search within the admin area I get this error:

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax near ‘AND comment_approved != ‘spam’ ORDER BY comment_date’ at line 1]
SELECT * FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_post_ID = AND comment_approved != ‘spam’ ORDER BY comment_date

Uninstalling the plugin removes this error. Otherwise I have had no problems (I haven’t enabled it on my site yet, though – still in the progress of switching blog systems).

Cheers!
