Blog Updates

Rodin, the high commander of this here chronosilence.org domain, has made a few updates in order to prevent spam comments. For one thing, he installed MT-Blacklist. Not that you care. What does affect you is that he made the commenting and search features password protected.

The username and password are really hard to remember.
Username: blog
Password: blog

It also tells you that those are the username and password when it prompts you for them. However, since I disable commenting on any entry that starts to accumulate spam (which generally happens after an entry turns a few weeks old), I might ask Rodin to turn the password feature off if it turns out to be really obnoxious. So try leaving a comment and tell me what you think.

Edit: Nevermind. I had Rodin turn off the username/password feature. It was a little much for the sake of preventing spam. I'll continue to endorse my method of turning off commenting for old entries instead.

Mmm, comment spam.

it does the same thing it does to me where the comment doesn't appear because it doesn't refresh the window. It's kind of frustrating.

Wait... say what? I didn't have any problem with the comment not appearing.

I say it's an additional pain in the arse. But if it works, it works, I suppose.
