The new blog software appears to be working quite well. I was able to turn back on the comments for all of my posts. Within 2 hours I had around 50 comment spams that had been posted. Wordpress does such a better job with this. There are bulk interfaces for cleaning entries up. And Wordpress detected the spam after a few of them started looking the same, and moved them to a moderation queue. That made it quite easy to dump them before they were even posted. There is supposed to be plugins for spell checking and image posting and other nifty features. I do not have any of those working yet. But I will get them running as I have time.
It has been a few months since I have posted. Since that time we have been blessed with a new baby girl. Her name is Loren and she has been the best baby. I am not sure if we are just getting to be better parents at this point, or if the babies just get more laid back if they have a few older siblings. Loren has been sleeping most of the night since day one. Andrew and Tracy are both really enjoying playing with their little sister. Sometimes too much…
I just got back from traveling for a week. I was away for work and then for a memorial service. It was tough being away from the family for such a long time right after Loren had arrived. I’m glad to be back and I am really looking forward to this weekend.
I am going to try and keep up now that this blog software has pretty much taken care of the comment spam problem. I also would not expect the layout to remain the same. Expect more changes and more posts in the near future.
