WordPress Plugin: Comment Author URL Stripper

Published on Monday, February 4th, 2008 at 10:37pm.

As promised, I’ve created a plugin which removes the URL from a comment author if it contains any of the words specified in the Options screen.

When writing comments, a lot of people type in google.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, and various other web sites which don’t belong to them. This plugin strips out the comment author URL whenever it contains anything from a set of words that you specify in the Options screen. The URL will never make it to the database. (...)

Integrating Twitter

Published on Wednesday, July 25th, 2007 at 9:42pm.

I’ve been using Twitter more and more just because it’s so simple to post quick little updates. I just installed the Twitter Tools plugin which will create a daily post here at MDV from my Twitter Updates. These daily posts (if I have any Tweets that day) will go into the quickie category and make things easier on me. Hopefully it’ll help to keep some fresh content on the site. (...)

Spammers Attack

Published on Monday, April 30th, 2007 at 11:20pm.

Over the past week I’ve had a problem with spammers hitting my comment form hardcore both here and at 2 Hole Cards so hard it was crashing the web host server. They had to disable the sites and it looks like the spammers have moved along.

No WWW

Published on Friday, July 14th, 2006 at 2:34pm.

I posted a couple of months ago about dropping the www from URLs and have been a supporter of it for much longer. All of my sites have been www free for as long as I can remember. The www.xxxx.com URLs will redirect to the one without www. If you’re using WordPress and have been afraid to try out the .htaccess method Matt released the no-www plugin last month. (...)

WordPress Plugins: Trackback And Pingback Moderation

Published on Thursday, January 6th, 2005 at 1:11am.

These two plugins basically do the same thing, but I wanted to keep them seperate. When you turn one on, it will automatically place either all NEW trackbacks or all NEW pingbacks (depending on the plugin) into the comment moderation queue. It’s meant as a simple way to keep the spammers from getting these onto your site without you first approving them. (...)
