There’s signs of life…

Hmm… another attempt at a resurrection. This time spurred on by the fact that I was so outdated with my WordPress installation and also my Coppermine installation. I was dreading the tedious process of backing up, reinstalling as anyone who maintains a self-hosted blog knows. Thankfully, I found the WordPress Automatic Updater Plugin which makes updating WP surprisingly easy. No major problems except for the fact that the Coppermine plugin is broke which seems to be abandonware by stilglog. I’ll have to find a solution as having to go through all my posts to find where the plugin left its code.

What was less amusing was the upgrading of Coppermine for the photo gallery. Prior to version 1.5, there is no built-in spam protection. This is hopefully overcome by a small Captcha plugin, which I read is going to be standard for 1.5. Trust me, removing over 60,000 spam comments from the back-end was not fun.

Now to deal with FAQ script which has sent me over 10,000 emails in the last 6 months.
