I had this idea the other day that I would turn comments back on after shutting them down from some months due to the flood of comment spam that was hitting my site (and email box). I was inspired by the release of a new version of MT and their guide to fighting comment spam. The approach I took basically…
Missing in action
I have been missing in action from this blog for some time. I thought it was about time I reconnected and let people know what I have been up to for the past few months. In November I joined HighBeam Research as their Director of Content and Editorial. I’m not the only blogger that has joined the team. Shortly after…
