Comment author must have a previously approved comment from now on…


I just changed the discussion settings on my blog. Comment authors must now have previously approved comments. All other comments will be hold in moderation queue. I changed that due to the fact that there is an increasing amount of silly spam comments. And if I write “silly” then I really mean silly. Not that only the spam comments are silly… the persons who write the comments or the bots are silly as well. It´s so obvious and so easy to expose those spam comments. That´s why I will work with a moderation queue from this time on. Continue reading Comment author must have a previously approved comment from now on…

I found something in the WordPress.com Dashboard under “Appearance” and then under “Widgets” which might me interesting for those WordPress.com Users who run their own Blog as a Photography Blog or for those who add Images to their own Blogposts very often. But also for those who just publish Text Content without Images. I found this nifty Widget called “Top Posts & Pages”. You can add it to your Sidebar on your Blog and it will basicly show your Top Posts. You can decide how many Top Blogposts or Top Photoposts the Widget should show.
