Web Dev: May 2007 Archives

Website Redesigned

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)

Still using MovableType 3.2, but I've upgraded the design a bit while I've had a little extra time around the house.  We're now using MT-Notify which enables commenters to subscribe to an article so when people add comments, you're sent an email.  We're also using Gallery2 and have integrated a random image on the sidebar.  The Gamercards are on the sidebar too, they were too much of an eyesore prominently displayed in the header. I think it feels a lot cleaner.  I ultimately want to draw a banner image of the family instead of the picture of the four of us before Jax was born.

New Security Measures

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

I've changed security on the blog to use the SCode MT Plugin.  Comments don't require email addresses anymore and are instantly added if you provide the appropriate CAPTCHA security code.  I couldn't get the GD libraries setup on my windows machine for testing, thankfully all required modules were already on my host's Linux server.  Hopefully that'll eliminate spam from the comments, but I also need to install CCode/TCode reduce trackback spam.  I might completely move over to CCode so that I can cross-platform develop more easily.
