Thanks to Steph for pointing me in the direction of two Anti-Spam Plug-Ins for WordPress. I installed Bad Behavior yesterday (works on any php-based blogging software, not just WordPress). When I found 24 spams this morning, I went back to check the Bad Behavior help logs. They recommended working in … Continue reading →
No, I haven’t done much writing lately. Since early this year, I’ve focused on Twilight revisions. I’m making slow progress with them, but at least it is progress.

Stucco is the final theme in the theme parade. Thank you for playing. You’ve all been terrific sports.
