I finally got around to updating the site to the latest WordPress and updated the special iPhone-friendly format as well.
This, in turn, allowed me to install a user verification plug-in, which will make it practical to (finally) reopen the site for new users, while hopefully keeping the spammers to a minimum. (more…)
I just completed the upgrade to the latest version of WordPress (the older versions obviously had a few security holes). I think I managed to find and reproduce all the formatting changes I’ve made over the years, but if you see anything that’s not displaying properly, please let me know.
We’ve Added a Special Look for iPhones
If you’re using an iPhone or iPod Touch to visit WritersBlockLive, you’ll now see a new layout just for those devices.
Some time back I was forced to close registration for this site, due to the huge wave of ‘fake’ registrations being made by spammers (in advance of their attempts to post comment-spam). It pissed me off so much, I just said ‘fuck it’ and shut the whole thing off. Well, I’ve mellowed a bit, and decided to try it again.
I also reactivated the email contact form so you can reach me directly.
I was saddened to read today that Tera Patricks, of www.mac360.com*, passed away after a long fight with cancer. My heart goes out to her friends and family.
I always enjoyed her approach to Mac journalism, and will miss her wit and style.
*looks like her site is down right now, due to intense traffic.
