Two web-related notes:
- I’ve just migrated the Piedmont Wildlife Center’s website from a bunch of php webpages (the only reason for the php was to include the template) to the Drupal content management system. I’ve also added in the Coppermine photo gallery to keep our pictures. I would have used gallery2, but it kept dying due to memory errors with the database. I’m guessing our ISP has the ulimit set to small. Overall, the updates went pretty well, the biggest headaches were taking us out of a table based layout into the (more) modern world of CSS. I kept the current look and feel, but the CMS should make it easier to change in the future. But for now, at least I can distribute the web updating responsibilities to others 🙂
- Does anyone know how to get WordPress to do better detection/blocking of comment spam? It’s killing me. Fine, I’ll go google for it.
Okay, I’ve installed and am trying Comments Post Rewriter which uses a changing key that is embedded in the html post. The theory is that if you don’t use the form on the blog itself, you won’t have the key. I’ll see what we block. It will also be interesting to see if this comment goes through 🙂
