I used the CoComment Enhancer plugin and now I think that Cocomment is finnaly working correctly on my site.

The comments themseves are not showing up correctly. For some reason all formatting for them is removed when they are viewed. the formatting is still there. I can see it when I try to edit them but it does not show up. does anyone know why this is?

UPDATE: The propblem was caused by the ESV plugin. I will let you know if I get a work around

UPDATE2:  I got the workaround thanks to the folks at WrodPress. I think the author is going to update the code.

Here is what I did:

Change this line at the end of the plugin script:

add_filter(’comment_text’, ‘esv_display’, 20);

to this:

add_filter(’comment_text’, ‘esv_display’, 40);

All better!

JaguarPC Server Fail - Update 2

April 30th, 2006 by Carl Thomas | No Comments | Filed in Wordpress

My webhost crashed and their latest backup was two weeks old. I managed to find some of the lost posts using Google and Yahoo cache and I will repost the ones I have. If you have subscribed to a thread the comments will probably be gone.

I had a great post on Saturday morning. Act like you read it and it was great.

update: I am now trying to rebuild the site. please be patient.

update 2:  I lost everything in my database from easter on.  If you left a comment and i was able to retrieve it from google or yahoo cache, I posted it.  Yahoo refreshed its cache this morning which means I lost a bunch.  Time to learn how to do that Wordpress one click update thing.

If you look at my Stats page, you can see the backend of this blog.Most tech questions can be answered by looking at that but I wanted to point out a few other things and try to get some help from others running WordPress.

Here is a toolbar for firefox that lets you search biblegateway! Thanks Heather.

I use the Sage Feed Reader for Firefox to do my blog reading. I have tried a bunch and I think this works best for me. I wish I could find a similar online version.

Here is where I need some help:

I use SecureImage (it generates those blurry letter you have to duplicate in order to post a comment). Trying to read those squigly letters is a pain but it eliminates the spam. I want to use Subscribe to Comments so people can get an email when someone responds to their comment but if I have it and SecureImage installed at the same time SecureImage blocks any comments from posting.

I turned off secureimage for one night and got 114 spam comments! That is not the plan.

Does anyone know how to fix this or can you suggest a similar spam blocking method?

Here is my request for help on the developers page.

UPDATE:  05/02/2006 - I followed Rich’s advice and went with the Akismet plugin.  Works really well!

Just thought I would share what I have made from Adsense.

Yesterday was my second most profitable day.

While I am trying to figure out Wordpress2, I ran across problogger and found out he is pentecostal.

Mark this as an endorsement.
