Blog infrastructure updated
I’m almost finished with a round of updates to the infrastructure of this site. I upgraded Wordpress and changed my hosting from a friend’s virtual server to Linux hosting with GoDaddy.com. The price is right and so far the service has been great. I’ve used GoDaddy for domain name registration for many years. [ad#GoDaddy Hosting] Comments are now protected with reCaptcha to try to reduce the amount of link spam that I have to sort through. If you have a problem posting a comment, or notice any other aspect of the site that is “broken,” please contact me at the email address shown on the About page. I still have a bit of work to do on updating my theme to take advantage of the features of Wordpress 3.

Hi Craig, if you are using Wordpress there should be no need to use captcha. I run two websites (a cooking site http://www.slovakcooking.com and a scientific computing blog at http://www.particleincell.com/blog), both of which are hosted with GoDaddy by the way, and I’ve been extremely happy with Akismet. There are only few rare instances when a spam slips through, one in a thousand if that. The whole spam check is completely invisible to the user.
