Yeah, you already left your first comment as Kelvin (the one at the top) but I just went change it without mentioning it. Oh well. Why is everyone typing in wrong things commenting on this post? Heh.

Wait! I'm NOT Kelvin, am I? Has there been THAT MUCH change in my life? Oh dear, things ARE getting goofy around here! Rita Rita's last blog post..Bloggrrl’s Moment of Silence

Kelvin,

As someone who is UNEXPECTEDLY going through a similar thing is now finding out, I feel for you. It’s a LOT more than how the site looks!

Come on over soon (very soon, if possible) for free pizza and drinks…I think you might be surprised!

Now corrected… Yep, I’ve put wrong addresses before as well. Blame auto-complete…

Hm, I never thought about that spam comments problem. I’ve subscribed to email updates for comments in several blogs that I regularly comment on but I’ve never had the problem. I guess they all have good comment moderation or spam filter.

Oops. The autofill thing put the wrong address in there.

I hope the robots don't find me! I seriously don't want to jack with this stuff, especially since I have a bunch of sites running WordPress. Your site is looking good, though! I have an issue with Subscribe to Comments, though. Whenever I do it, six months later, I am getting emails when there are spammy comments posted on those entries.

Hm, I actually feel like the site is running slower than usual. I’m not sure if that’s the thing with my hosting, or just more things to run on this version. We’ll see.

@Rita: Actually, the original Bloggrrl had a blogroll on the side bar, but later moved it to a seperate page so it’s not as cluttered (which I think was a good idea). I clean up my blogroll every now and then, and I might change the way I do things here, since the new version seems to give you better organization of links. Don’t know. Need to look into it some more.

@Na: You got an awesome new design and logo. I don’t blame you for loving it. I think b2evolution would have its own set of plug-ins, right? And there should be lots of different social bookmarking plug-ins so it shouldn’t be too hard to find one. Fiddling with code is interesting exercise for me (and some other programmer bloggers). I don’t know about other people, though. I am sort of wishing that the new version is running faster than it is right now…

Looking good! I too need to add social bookmarks, but unfortunately, I can’t get it to work with my design just yet. Funny, every day since I upgraded my blog, I’m loving it. I’m using b2evolution, and have never had a hack, and have only occasionally had bugs (usually cause I’ve fiddled with the code ). Even spamming doesn’t occur! Sometimes a good upgrade is everything.

I think that the site looks terrific! One thing that I particularly like is that you don’t have 40 “bookmarks,” as on bloggrrl – which I inherited with the site. This is much cleaner and makes more sense…I have bookmarks even I don’t understand!

Another plus is the ability for follow-up comments for e-mail. I hope that that works for everybody’s follow-up comments, and not just your own! I love to see what other commenters are writing.

Great job!

Rita
