Following in the footsteps of the WordPress v1.5.1 release DrDave has released the first public beta of Spam Karma 2 – If you’re still running the original Spam Karma then go and upgrade it’s well worth it!

All things wordpress
Are you a spammer
An interesting and simple way of attempting to block comment spam by adding an “Are you a spammer” checkbox” – however it won’t last long before it gets added to all the spamming scripts as the checkbox has a fixed name and other blogs won’t mind it being in the post data.
This also won’t protect against the increasing rise in trackback spamming that we are seeing.
New theme
Well as you can probably see, the site has a new theme as of today. This has been in development for a while and it’s not completely finished but I think it’s much nicer than the previous hacked version of the classic theme that I was using.
I have also implemented my own version of asides which I will be putting into use soon.
The header image will likely rotate when I’ve had time to dig through my photos and create a few more, and the right hand side is missing the photoblog which will show the most recent photos I’ve taken hopefully. I also need to add some colour to the page as it is quite bland at the moment.
