It’s amazing what some people search for

Posted in Site Documents  

A couple weeks ago I added a plug-in that lets me see what people are searching for and puts popular searches over to your left under the search box. Looking at the stats, it’s amazing what some people come here looking for. It looks like 6 guys (I assume) decided they were a little too small and wanted medication to do something about it.

Old software - nDB and nCopy

Posted in Site Documents  

Back in the previous life of Nutt.net I had two programs on here that I wrote while in high school (I graduated in 1997 so it’s been a few years). These programs - nDB and nCopy (also called Copier in an early version) - are no longer on this site as I am not supporting them any more.

So why am I posting about this? I noticed after installing a plug-in that records searches that some visitors are looking for these two programs and I wanted to tell y’all that are searching for them that they’re no longer here.

Upgrades and Spam

Posted in Site Documents  

It happens about once a year. I get this urge to redesign one of my sites. And this one with its wavy lines just seemed due. So here is my new design. As you can probably tell I’m on a minimal design kick right now.

This also seemed a good time to upgrade from WordPress 1.5 to WordPress 2.03. With the upgrade I’ve turned on Askimet spam blocking, so comments are no longer pre-moderated before they show up online. Of course if your comment is spammy it’ll still be blocked.

And, the most difficult change - I changed domains from blog.nutt.net to www.nutt.net. And just to make it that much more difficult I decided to change the Permalink structure at the same time. www.nutt.net had been a PHP-Nuke site that I just sort of fell away from in 2004. Since then it had been hacked twice so I took it down a couple months ago waiting for this move.

Contact Form

I’m going to try this out for a little while. I downloaded a plugin called WP-ContactForm that’ll allow y’all to contact me if you want. Compliments, complains, link exchanges, whatever. Read the rest of this entry »

SimpleTags plugin for WordPress

Posted in Blogging, Site Documents  

I’ve started using a plugin for WordPress called SimpleTags to handle tagging for Technorati. It’s pretty slick. For inline tags throw a <tag> around the word and it becomes a tag on publishing. If you don’t want to tag inline, you can add <tags> around a comma separated list and they’ll become tags.

Finally upgraded to WordPress 1.5.2

Posted in Blogging, Site Documents  

Just in time to upgrade to version 2.0 when it comes out of beta, I finally got around to upgrading to WordPress 1.5.2.

Flash plugin for WordPress

Just added a quick and easy plugin that allows posting of embeded Flash from Kahsoon.com.

Oops, I tried a little too hard to block spam

Posted in Site Documents  

Well, maybe I should have checked my comment form. I had installed a captcha spam blocker to the form, but never actually put the image code in. And it never occurred to me that I was getting tons of comments (mostly spam) on my other blog, but none here. Oh well, every comment gets moderated first anyway before it shows up, so here comes the comment spam.

Testing Technorati tags

Posted in Site Documents  

I’ve added a plug-in called Bunnys Technorati Tags. You’ll find a list of tags at the end of each posting that links back to similar postings at Technorati.com.

Site upgraded to WordPress 1.5

Posted in Site Documents  

WordPress 1.5 (Strayhorn) is out, and I’ve upgraded. Once I’ve played around a little more I’ll write a better review, but just a quick check it looks much better.
