Site updates

Thanks to all the sitting around at home, I finally got time to work on my website – Upgraded to WordPress 2.0.4 and also upgraded my K2 theme to the less buggy K2 0.9 Release. Added a few more plug-ins to my site and removed some of the ones I didn’t need anymore.

The various plugins that I am using now are -

1. Extended Live Archives – For the nice live archives that you see in the archives page.

2. Brian’s Latest Comments – To see the latest comments in the side bar.

3. Filosofo Home-Page Control – To enable me to use this WordPress install like a CMS. Lets me choose which static page becomes the home page as the default is the blog page. I have enabled the Home page to be the home page!

4. FAlbum – Helps in integrating my flickr account with my wordpress site.

5. Live Post Preview – Lets me preview the posts as I write them.

6. Spam Karma 2 – Reloaded – Eats up all the comment spam. Very useful plugin.

7. Google Site Map generator – Creates a Google compliant sitemap of my WordPress blog.

8. Visual.SpellCheck – AJAX Spell-Checker for my posts.

Links to sites that offer some geat plugins for download can be found here.

  • The new plugins are good. Why not have a nice image with the mast-head of your blog? The orange thingy is too plain.

    (Grrr… your captcha image didnt load and this is the 3rd time I’m typing this comment! Fix that also)

  • The Captcha thing opens in the Parent Window itself!! So, I need to hit the back button to return to the post. Hmmm… bugs.

  • The Captcha worked fine – Spam Karma 2 thought you were spam (!) so left the comments to be approved by me as a final measure – thats why they didnt show up after you posted them, and thats why they are all up now after my approval!

    Regarding the mast head picture – yes i’ve been planning on uploading a photo there for ages – just waiting to find the perfect picture to put up!

  • Someone else below asked this already about antyspam sripts.
    I am getting nailed with Spam on my website mails and in our blog website – now ist offline too much spam. Is there anyway to stop this? If not, there really isn’t any point in leaving it up and active. Any help will be greatly appreciated. http://www.profesjonalna-reklama.pl

    Thanks for help, Keep up the good work. Greetings from Poland

  • [...] The first major change is I’m upgrading to the latest WordPress 2.0.6 release. Next I’ll be working on the various plugins that I’m using on the site. Will be upgrading some to their latest versions and will be removing some and also adding some new ones to the list. Will post the list of plugins once I’m done. I’m also working on a new theme for my site. Been using the old theme for a long time now and it’s time I changed it. [...]
