I have make an order on Dec 2005. But till now I still didn’t receive the free Ubuntu CD. Did they forgot about my order? Or maybe my order was in the dust-bin. I really hope that I will receive them before I back to Uni. :(

Btw I think I will gonna make another wordpress plugin. So I don’t need to edit the announcement each time I update my post. :d

Have you ever encounter spam in your comments? I was. Before I use these plugins (read below), about 500+ spams in my comments and I need to delete all of them each time I logging into my account. The problem getting worst when there were about 1000+ spams I need to delete.

But you know, to delete these spams is not easy as the word is because you need to manage them in your admin panel. You have to tick which comments that are spams (you don’t want to delete your visitor comments right? :) )and click delete. If there are 5 or 8 spams, it is fine. But how about if there are 500 or 1000+ comments (including spams) that you need to check before you click the delete button? It will really takes time. I don’t have time for that. So I downloaded and use these useful anti-spam plugins which I recommended for you to use it on your wordpress.

I use 2 wordpress plugins that can block and delete these unwanted spams automatically. I know, one plugin is enough but I love to have more protection and want to try their performance. :p All you have to do is just download, upload the plugin and activate it. But one of these plugins need an API key.

For this week poll, I would like to ask what do you want more from this site? I have put four answers for you to vote. If you like, you can add new answer to it. At the end of this week, I will check the results and I will start a new and first project for this site.

This TOOL will show you what products that will be shown if you put certain keywords. For an example, if you put “ATI Radeon”, Chitika eMiniMalls will show up “ATI RADEON X1900 XTX” product.
