How to Completely Block Comment Spam in Your WordPress Blog?
The more you blog, the more spam comments come into your posts. As you blog more and your site gets popular and widely visited, spam comments become your primary enemy. This is where an anti-spam plugins proves to be useful. But it appears that no particular spam filter or spam killer that can be used especially in your blogs. I am currently using 3 spam-blocking plugins for this blog, but it’s not prov
The latest versions of WordPress installations come with Akismet, a spam-filtering plugin for WordPress. Akismet can be very useful especially in filtering spam comments containing numerous links, which are always a feature of spam messages. Unfortunately, it fails to do its job sometimes for flagging proper comments as spam. So it would be necessary to check the filtered spam for this error. Problems arise when you got a lot of spam, say hundreds or thousands, to review. It would take you a lot of time, or it maybe impossible for the blogger to finish checking all those spam. You cannot just delete these comments because you might disappoint your readers. Some comments may also contain important things such as a link exchange request, a relevant link to your post, etc.

How to Take Advantage of Free Hosting Sites?
The existence of free hosting sites are becoming a trend these days, they now come with cPanel, Direct Admin and other website managers, which used to only exist with paid hosting. Free hosts also offer huge space, which may reach up to 10gigs and bandwidth. You can also use your own domain or they offer you a free subdomain. These free hosts are PHP- and MySQL database-supported. Other features may include Fantastico which contains auto-install scripts that allow you to install PHP programs and a lot more, depending on your host.
But many people worry about the stability of these sites. They may worry about how do these free hosts exist without the members paying? Simple. Some free hosts offer an ad-supported plan, which means that you agree to display their banner in the form of text link ads such as Google Adsense, or they offer plans that requires you to make a certain number of posts for a given plan. You may wonder how do they make money out of those posts. The discussions created by the members will show relevant ads for their text-link ads and it will also reflect the activity of the forum, which serves as an attractant for more members, more traffic, more earnings. Some advertisers also opt to advertise their products in these sites because they are well-visited.

My Site Needs Upgrade Again
In just 10 months of existence, my SELaplana blog experienced a series of hosting plan upgrade at the PlogHost starting from Plann75 to Co-Branded Reseller Plan. As of writing this post, my blog has already consumed its 20GB Bandwidth limit. I already sent a request to the hosting company’s customer support regarding this matter, and I hope he’ll work it our immediately so that my blog can continue to exist this month.
I am still examining the site’s logs why did my site used up that much amount of Bandwidth. I’m wondering if its because of the images I uploaded into the site or because of the template of my blog.
Currently, there are two blogs who are eating up the bandwidth:
- SELaplana blog. This blog receives more than a thousand of unique hits a day.
- Songs Lyrics blog. Recent days, this blog receives more or less two thousand unique hits a day but later decreased to more or less a thousand unique hits a day.
However, I am still thinking if there are sites who are hotlinking to the images I uploaded into the site for it steals up bandwidth.
