Thanks for the help everybody. Glad to hear that the problem with SpamKarma has been rectified. I liked it - very efficient. But I did'nt want to get 'kicked off' of TCH as a result.

>>> I've encountered the same thorny problem. What happens is that the hosting company decided to use something like mod_security to deflect possible spam-tainted data before it reaches the Apache server. Problem is, when people have a list of ban words and try to update WP's options (../wp-admin/options.php), mod_security sees that list and thinks it's spam-tainted. This occurs even when you're not trying to change the blacklisted words, because the form sends out all the data including the list. Deleting the list should solve the problem but at the cost of bloggers not having control over what to ban. <<< ... Ok, I deleted my common spam words from the Options>Discussion panel, and I was able to update. As far as SpamKarma goes, my use in the past supposedly caused my server here to crash so I've disabled it. Has that issue been fixed? I've upgraded to WP 1.5 now. Thanks for all your help.

So did you solve your problem? I'm having exactly the same problem. Thanks.

I definitely don't have the time to even think of qualifying for 'geekdom', but I am still very happy with wordpress. I'd also recommend checking out Dive into Mark's reason's for using Wordpress. You can check out my implementation - it's in my sig.

First, I'd like to apologize if this is the 'wrong' area to post this question. I have one or two young people that hotlink to an image on my site for use in online chat/bulletin boards. I changed the graphic they receive to something other than they are looking for. But they continue to hotlink anyway. I believe that you can block certain sites (ip addresses) from your site, is that correct? As it is from these two bulletin board/chat isites can I just block those specific sites from accessing my site? And if so how does one go about doing such a thing? As I have mentioned in another post/question, please feel free to treat me like an 'idiot' java script:emoticon('') and be as descriptive as possible in your reply- unless of course the answer is 'no.' java script:emoticon('') I'm in the process of researching/writing my MA thesis and I'm pretty fried. Any cognitive ability outside of that needed for the thesis is missing from my life at the moment.java script:emoticon('') edit: see how fried I am - can't even figure out how to implement those *bloody* smilies. thanks for your consideration and assistance. Respect & peace! Will

I've tried searching, and this may be an obvious question, but I want to make sure that I do it correctly. I would like to backup my databases (of my blog). I assume that I use phpMyAdmin, and I was thinking that I would use 'export'. But once I get to that screen I'm a bit lost. I would (again) assume that I would 'select all' regarding the data, but I am not sure about the steps from that point on. In what format would I export? I would like to be able to backup my web log database more frequently as that is the core of my blog & site rather than a full site backup. But I want to make sure that I do it properly so if anything ever happened, I could restore everything. Most of the other parts of my site I have a local copy on my computer anyways. Please feel free to treat me like an 'idiot' in your response java script:emoticon('') as the more detailed you are the more comfortable I will be. Thanks for your consideration. I hope that I posted this question in the correct area. As far as my system goes, I uses a Mac 17" powerbook. William

Guess I'll just throw myself in with the text editor crowd. A good basic html editor that also has a decent preview option, especially when I am trying to mess around with my css file is hyperedit, but I think its only for Macs.

Grew up commercial fishing. I do more flyfishing than anything else. But unfortunately that hasn't been happening all that regularly the last two years. But I've finished all my coursework for my MA, and 'only' have my thesis left to write. I think I will be justifying a few fishing days to take a well-deserved 'break' and clear the mind.

Congrats! And the Tigers won! I'm really happy to see their turnaround this year. I still remember my first visit to Fenway. I'm a diehard Red Sox fan (it's obvious when you visit my site. I think the largest number of posts deal with the Sox). I hope your son enjoyed the game.

I use a web site: Obfuscator (http://alicorna.com/obfuscator.html) that will make your email address unusable for 'spambots' but useable for people. Hope this helps. Will

Just wanted to add my welcome. Joining a great company. William

Jeani, my wife, demonstrating the beauty of an Apple laptop with Airport Extreme wireless connection. Portability is incredible. We truly work everywhere. I have been in our backyard updating my 'blog' all morning. Sorry the screen isn't more visible, but (hopefully) you can see the site. Oh yeah, you can see Lacey in one of the shots if you look closely. William

I use AIM as a part of iChat for Mac. I am up in Vancouver, BC at grad school, while Jeani, my partner is in Oregon. The video chat is a godsend. And now it should work with Windows users as well.

I too, would like to express my sincere appreciation to all the effort and consideration given by TCH. It keeps getting better and better. I am currently using Wordpress for my blog, which I believe is an extension/continuation/replacement of b2 ?!? You can check out my site, as I am still using the original template. http://WilliamBragg.com/wordpress & I just installed gallery with the help of your tutorial last night. Even though the tutorial is for a slightly older version of gallery, it was SO HELPFUL. To have it auto install would be incredible. I am not sure I will actually be using Gallery unless I can figure out how to change the layout/design/graphics (hint,hint I am looking for hints... ) Again, everything you are proposing would be incredible & very welcome. William
