Moving on… sorry Turkey
Pushing that other post off the top of the page. So last week I battled a losing battle against spam bots... In the end I banned a large set of ip addresses from Turkey... sorry Turkey. I figure some of you guys will be happy that the spam robot using some part of my site to send email is no longer able to send stuff. Or something. I don't know I'm still poking around my site trying to figure out how to really block the bot and find and close up however they are getting in... yet I still don't know what's really going on. =/
Also somehow someone had come in and inserted hidden spam in the header of my wordpress theme. Somehow. Which blows my mind. I have no idea how long it had been there either. Maybe half a year. I was using an older version of Wordpress for a long time. Thankfully no one coming to my site got spammed by it since it was invisible but poor Google sure saw it. (Edit and I think Google was punishing me for it as well... LOL my hits from Google were all but choked off for the last month or so and now that I've taken off the stupid spam they have resurged close to where they were before. So, thankfully that means I've probably only had the spam headers from maybe the beginning of April when I had the huge spike for April fools.)
I really want to change the design of my site. The hard part is that I have so many needs. I want a journal but I also want a more simple gallery structure but I also would like to put my comics up on here. So that's like 3 different things... oh and also I want a shop. Damn that's 4 things. The figuring out how to get all of that stuff to work together is killing this pretty good. I can figure out how to get two of them going maybe 3 if I use a paypal wordpress plugin but the comic bit, that's the tough part. I think I could do everything with Wordpress and comicpress and a paypal plugin but then I'd have to make a theme that could display it all nicely and find the time to probably repost all of my site so that the comic posts and the picture posts were separate from all of the journal posts. Nargh.
Maybe I should just start over... hmmm.
