Comment Stuffing by Sockpuppets

The Feedly RSS Reader for Chrome should not be trusted. Since they are cheating to get signups, it’s impossible to say what other bad things they are doing behind the scenes with your data. —————— The face of spam keeps changing. It used to be email, then blog comments, now it’s comment stuffing (as in […]

WordPress Plugins

Here’s a boring geeky list of what makes Lee.org run. Ajax Edit Comments  by  The PluginBuddy Team. Some of my commenters use this all the time. Great. Akismet  by  Automattic. Since tweaking NoSpamNX perfectly, this is rarely needed. But I like having this as backup Artiss Plugins List  by  David Artiss. How I made this […]

Why I Blog

Fungavir

Update 2-15-12: Read my full review of Fungavir. Text in bold italics below are updates. I had written a scathing post about Fungavir, calling it a scam. I’ve removed this post. I now think I was a little too aggressive in my wording. I spoke with one of the owners of Fungavir a couple days […]

Android Essentials?

I just got an Android phone, AT&T Samsung Captivate SGH-i897. What are the essentials for this phone? Here’s what I’ve got so far to change the phone from PITA to awesome Google Voice – ($free) to avoid the ancient “You have 2 new messages. To listen to your messages, press 1” and replace it with […]
