Dr Dave ยป Critical Announcement affecting ALL Wordpress users
The maker of Spam Karma 2 which I’ve activated on my blog today in an attempt to improve on the filtering provided by Akismet, says that users of Word Press should go to their Dashboard, Options, and disable new users from registering. This doesn’t stop people from posting. Apparently there’s a security hole that hasn’t been announced in Word Press, and it can be exploited by first registering an account on the blog.

In other blog news today, my blog has had the most visitors ever in a single day, breaking the previous record which also came about after having a post linked to by SmallDeadAnimals.com. Slashdot.org in the past has sent about 500 people my way in a single day, but today I’ve already surpassed 1300 page loads due to SDA.

Those SDA links are great aren’t they….
I use the old Askimet, along with another plugin called Bad Behavior. The two together have been great so far….

I was using Akismet, but it wasn’t easy to wade through the spam filter and pick out the false positives. SK2 sounded more flexible, so I’m giving it a trial period. Switching back to Akismet takes only 10 seconds with 2 clicks.
How many times have you been “smalldeadanimal’ed” by a link? My count is at 2 ;-)
