In reply to: Is there a way to add multiple blogroll links? (import maybe?)Yea, I feel pretty stupid. I found that just about an hour ago and imported all my links from my feed reader. 🙂
I swear, I searched and searched for that for days and just didn’t see it at all.
Ah well, that’s why we ask questions…

In reply to: WordPress invites referrer spam?There is a new tool to fight referrer spam called… Referrer Karma. By the same guy that did Spam Karma. It works perfectly.
http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/ref-karma/It will let false-positives into the site, but will strip the referral out of the picture so that it won’t show up in referral lists/logs.
He even shows how you can use the blacklist the script creates inside your .htaccess file to block the spammers from even getting to the site.
I’ve been using it for about a week now and it works great. It has a nice interface for changing blacklist entries into white and whitelist entries into black. Just incase Referrer Karma misses one.
It’s easy to install, and works with any website, not just WP.

In reply to: Page templates: how does one create one?Hrmph. I see a big need for a “Index” on that site. The search system that MediaWiki has isn’t the best for finding text on the pages like ‘Page Template’.
Anyway, thanks for pointing out that page. It will help alot!

In reply to: Page templates: how does one create one?I go there all the time first. I have yet to find something specific to 1.5. I just assumed that it was for 1.2.
Is there a page there for Page Templates? I did a search there before posting my question, but didn’t find anything about it.

In reply to: WordPress invites referrer spam?I started getting hit with major referral spam back when I was using ExpressionEngine. When I switched to WP, I also created a new domain for the site. I kept the old domain running as a means of letting people know of the change. I monitored my referrals afterwords, and found that my old domain started slowing down in referral spam and my new domain was getting a trickle, but not nearly the amount I was getting.
I too have a way of dealing with referral spam that is actually fitting. I have a small .PHP file that when it sees a referrer that I have said is bad, redirects the referral back to that site. So when a referral spammer trys hitting my site, he’s just hitting his own instead. 🙂 Here’s a link to the article:

In reply to: Getting info on what’s being displayedI’m currently using 1.2.2. I’m not really a bleeding edge kind of guy. 🙂
I found
wp_title()which is really close. It will certainly do for now. I would like to know if the title is a post, category, or month’s archive, but it’s a start.I’m not above making a hack or two to get this to work. 😉
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Nofollow Plugin for WordPress 1.2I have to agree with orangeguru here. I just tested it and it worked great for ‘a’ links, but WordPress takes url’s and converts them into links. The converted links don’t have the rel=’nofollow’ tag in it.
Any chance this plug-in will get updated to handle those?
Otherwise, I can see spammers just changing there spam messages to have non ‘a’ based url’s in the post to link back to their sites.

In reply to: Display all link categories except…Thanks, I’ll try that. An interesting way around it. 🙂
I’ve got the admin category showing up using wp_get_links(n) inside a php if statement. I just needed a way of not showing the other.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Display all link categories except…I was thinking it might be nice to write a little php code to loop through all the available categories, displaying the name, then the links (like the current get_links_list() does now), but skipping any categories I don’t want to display.
I’ll have to take a look at the get_links_list() function and copy it to my index.php file making a few mods. (Asuming I can even do that, not being up on php as much as I would like.)

In reply to: ExpressionEngine to WordPressUnfortunatly, I don’t see an Export feature.
The RSS feed thing almost worked. It brought over the posts pretty good, just had problems with the categories. I might take a look at the import php file and see if there is something I can do about that.
Of course, I would love to pull the comments over too.
I might just start over with what ever I decide on (WP is leading at this point) and leave the old site running with links to the new one. I’m not really much of a PHP programmer.
