I installed Firefox 2.0 tonight. The key feature that won me over? The most visible one? Spell checking. I haven’t installed a spell checker plug-in for WordPress, and, while I have good spelling skills, I still mess up sometimes — either through typos or a couple words I just don’t … Continue reading →
I finally took the plunge and imported Blogger posts from both blogs I had over there today. Polar Bear on the Loose is written by my character Inuit. Her posts are categorized under PBOTL — The Blog. Rantings and Ravings for Twilight has been imported and categorized under Twilight Notes. … Continue reading →
A quick check of Akismet before pressing “delete all” reveals it’s a pharmaceutical night. No surprises there. Unlike me, Carter doesn’t like to post when he has nothing to say. Of course, finding out that if you were a planet, you’d be Pluto, which recently lost it’s planet status, could … Continue reading →

Thanks to your generous proddings, I figured out how to get a WordPress API key and got Akismet to turn on yesterday. So far, it’s working like a charm. Coughing spasms are the worst of what I’m dealing with now as far as illness goes. Seems like sleep is meant … Continue reading →
I spent the afternoon waging a battle with a SpamBot. For some reason, this particular one found a way around SpamKarma2, and the site was getting hammered with comment spam. Why was I home during the middle of the week? I’m sick as a dog. Fever, sore and scratchy throat, … Continue reading →
