Now With Speel Cheker

by at 10:31 pm.

As anyone who has been trying to access the site tonight knows, I’ve been working on adding some stuff. Unfortunately for my sanity, I didn’t follow the precise directions for the first few tries and caused the site disappear in a puff of some gruesome errors. Sorry if that happened to you.

There are two new features to speak of; one which is visible in the form of a new button when posting comments - a spell checker! It adds a spell checker for both me when I post and for you when commenting. I tried the feature out and it’s very as the kids say off the hook.

The second is a nifty hidden little gadget that will prevent spammerbots from posting spam comments (which usually link to porn sites with a list of words in an attempt to jack up the search engine rankings for those sites). I caught one at it on an old post of mine. I knew it would happen sooner or later, but that should be taken care of now.

Consider this an open thread; what sorts of features would you like to see that I haven’t already installed?

    Dude, the speel cheker, rawks!

    Other features? How about a drive-through window? :-P

    Why did I never notice you had a blog? And it’s a nice blog too! For shame, shame on me!!

    I’m gonna go post a link like, now!

    *blush* Gee, thanks. I guess I’m just blog shy. There are so many GOOD blogs here in MA it’s sorta intimidating, but in a good way. :-) Thanks for the link-age. I guess I’m ready for prime-time now. :-)

    Dude! the word “blogs” shows up in the speel cheker as mispelled. I dunno why, but that’s kinda funny.

    I thought I added all that stuff to the checker (I can add words). I must have missed the plural. :)
