[Evan Dodds - Non-work-related blog] Stattraq fixes: Yesterday I suddenly got motivated to fix a couple of things that had been driving me nuts about Stattraq (the blog statistics collector/reporter that I’m using with Wordpress). Randy Peterman did a great job with it, but it seems to be about dead for development —

[SugarBank: Pornographic Thinking] Permanent Link to More on BLT (Blog Link Trade): Though I have the heart of a geeky little boy (it’s in a box by my bed) I’m not a programmer and so I now face with either leaving BLT as a beautiful experiment which never quite took flight (think Spruce Goose - huge potential) or I’m going to have to ask if there’s anyone out there who wants to pick up the gauntlet and move this thing on.

[The Blorg] A partial explanation of the lower numbers: John Hawkins asks this question: Last week, my traffic took a hit and this week it has been even more pronounced. I’m going to estimate that I’ve dropped from 9,500 daily uniques from two weeks ago to around 8500 or so now.

[Neilalien : A Doctor Strange Fansite : A Comic Book Weblog] Dr. Dremo #2 debuting at SPACE in May.: Surely new simple tools like Technorati and the TrueFresco Referrer Feed have long replaced running website stats for satisfying any day-to-day ego-curiosity. And maybe what Neilalien wondered about in We Don't Talk Anymore The Way We Used To is a factor: if everyone's each doing their own thing in the comicsblogosphere and there's less crossblogconversating nowadays, then there's less incentive/thrill/dread to confirm that no one's talking about/responding to/attacking anything you've linked to or said.

[Blog.centresource.com] CentreSource: Blog » Referrer and Comment Spam: A Primer: The technique involves checking each web request against many of the popular DNS blacklists typically used to fight E-mail spam. This can help mitigate the success of attacks by bot-nets, since these compromised computers are often in blacklisted IP space, or IP space at least flagged as dynamic/dial-up/broadband IP space.

[Abcseo.com] Stopping Comment / Referrer Spam: Okay, Bad Behaviour has been running for some time now and seems to let a lot of referrer spam through. I've recently been hit a by a search front end to .

 [Dvorak.org] Dvorak Uncensored » Blog Comment Spam Fix: What about using Capatcha and the Referer trick, plus I like the idea of using tokens, Session can’t be seen by anything on the client side, so if you put an aways changing token on the form and also in the Session heh you have a fix there, for one alot of these bots don’t support cookies and a session won’t work without a cookie. So basically in theory it would be bullet proof, but you aren’t going to stop a human spammer, cause they will always pass these tests.
