Singing the Joys of WordPress

I have to say, I do love the fact that Word­Press allows me to write posts and sched­ule them to post them­selves to cov­er days when I don’t feel up to blog­ging. I’ve been hav­ing a lot of trou­ble view­ing the mon­i­tor lately—my eyes feel like they’re danc­ing and noth­ing stays in focus, lead­ing to migraines very quick­ly. That is not a good thing when I’m in the last week of class­es for the semester!

I get a lot of spam com­ments on this blog, but over 99% of them are caught by Defen­sio. That’s a real fig­ure, not an esti­mate! See?

Many of those are tru­ly dis­gust­ing, even with­out ever fol­low­ing a link. If I could find a way to auto­mat­i­cal­ly dis­able com­ments on any post over a cer­tain age, I think the quan­ti­ty would go way down. I don’t want to do that man­u­al­ly, though, and I haven’t found a plu­g­in that will do it auto­mat­i­cal­ly. I did make a post in the WP forums ask­ing about one, hop­ing that I just missed some­thing that is already available.
