The New Face of Spam?
Previously, I was talking about how to completely block spam in your WordPress blog. Although, I am using 3 anti-spam plugins – Bad Behavior, Akismet and Peter’s Custom Anti-Spam, I am still receiving few spam comments. So I arrived at a conclusion that no single plugin (or if there is, I have yet to find out) can prevent your blog from spam comments. Bad Behavior was effective enough because it has prevented automated spam bots from accessing this web site, although some can still make it.
Before, I only receive spam comments such as “Nice day, best. I have the same topic in my site. Check it out (then a link to a Viagra site is provided).” or “Thanks for this great information!” then provides a link to site which intends to sell products or worse, to porn sites. These comment spams are usually three-liners. But recently, I received a comment spam disguised by its lengthy content.
Let me feature your free host!
Ph-Host.com was originally designed to provide free web hosting to Filipinos using the 10 GB reseller account from AhPlace.com was acquired by me for free. However, AhPlace had troubles in their server, which deleted all the members’ accounts, including my reseller account. Good thing that there were no members hosted by Ph-Host before AhPlace servers crashed down. More about Ph-Host.
I have decided to just convert the site to a guide for free hosting and domains. I will feature free hosts and domain providers in each entry. You can suggest your own host or other’s. This site is just starting out, though but I am aiming to expand it more, if time permits. You can suggest blog, image, web, multimedia, file or any type of host. You can also suggest a free domain provider.
It’s over
Christmas is over, the parties, the food, the gifts, boxing day (December 26 in Canada), the endless cash outlay. Finally, I can rest and enoy the time off. No wait…we have work on the 27th! Darn, just when I though I can finally get some rest, I have to go back to work.
Sometimes I wish I can just take a week off and do nothing. No laundry, no work to worry about, no cooking, no ironing. Nothing. Just sit around, watch TV or play Xbox or read a good book. But then again, I really hate taking vacations because it makes it harder to go back to work when your routine has changed.
