WordPress Wednesday: Safe Function Calls July 8th, 2009 @ 5:45 am PDT

If you’re editing a WordPress theme template file by adding a call to a plugin’s function, you need to be careful. In six months or a year you’re going to deactivate or delete that plugin, and you’re going to get a big ugly fatal PHP error on your blog. You can avoid it, though, by […]

WordPress Wednesday: Pithy Quotes Plugin June 24th, 2009 @ 6:15 am PDT

Akismet Works

Akismet Works April 2nd, 2008 @ 6:09 am PDT

I installed Akismet here at the beginning of the Fall of 2006. I really don’t know how I lived without it. I emptied the queue about seven hours ago, and when I got to the office this morning there were already almost 1500 comments, pingbacks, and trackbacks flagged as spam. Akismet has protected your site […]
