Upgrade or Switch?
As you see my blog is still running WordPress 1.5.11, I don’t know if it is because of the old version or WordPress itself, the entries have been getting dozens of spam comments and trackbacks every day since last month. It’s getting so bad that I have to turn off commenting! Now there are two choices before me: either upgrade it to the latest WordPress 2.0.2 or switch to another blogging tool (possibly Textpattern).
I guess I need more time to think about it, there’re just too many things I want to do (typical Sagittarius!) and I know once I have decided to do something I wouldn’t be able to stop until it’s done. God knows how long the switch and tweaking will take me …
Meanwhile, just came across this amazingly funny video about Microsoft designs the iPod packaging. I am sure Bill is very happy that the iPod I gave him for his birthday is not in the re-deisgned packaging. Happy Birthday to Bill!
Update: Thanks to Ian for sharing his tips in solving the spam attack. I’ve now installed the plugin Bad Behavior 2 and things are back to normal now, at least so far. Flow your comments in!
