I’ve been blogging a little lesser these days. And it’s partly because I have a lot more spam. How does that connect?
My blogging routine is simple. Each time, I’ll enter the administrative page for my blog and I’ll moderate some comments. I’ll delete all the horrible spam that is marked and scan it through just in case the software marks a false positive. And by the time I delete the spam, I am already less enthusiastic to blog already.
I use Akismet. And it’s great in protecting spam. Now I am thinking of testing out Bad Behavior to reduce the spam that I have to glance through to determine false positives. It’s not always easy blogging I guess.

Hopefully it works. I’m quite sick of my layout too. I promised a new one is coming so many times but I never really had the time to do it. My time table keeps getting interrupted by work and even my weekends are messed up due to work sometimes. It really sucks when they mess your off days and get you to come back. Sure they’ll return you with your day off another time, but it’s just not the same. Just different.

For me it’s really the layout thing, it just takes so long to code . And it’s time I don’t have, but I guess I got sick of mine really early and my motivation is dropped somewhat. Soon .. Sooooon .. I keep saying
by pketh (Nov 16, 2006 at 8 PM)Yeah, it takes long to code and that’s not really the hard part. For WordPress, it’s quite hard to maintain so many PHP files. It’s kinda confusing actually. If only it is more beginner friendly. I insist on coding from a scratch because I just enjoy editing my own code and I have a clearer picture of what’s going on.
Soon! Soooooon…
