  • Return of the Captcha

    Posted under

    Captcha is back after my brief test for two days and the results is an average of 40 spams per day. I had Akismet and a honeypot type anti-spam, but alas, a few dozen spams still managed to slip through. So, sorry for the ugly, but it seems I need a Captcha.

  • On Captcha

    Posted under

    I’m trying to go without the Captcha and see if it makes any difference too my spam count. If it does… too bad, it’ll have to stay in that case.

  • Using Post Format for this blog

    Posted under

    I’ve got the coding part of implementing Post Format into the theme done, so it’s more or less the design part now. Instead of having a huge If Else chunk in the middle of many templates, I decided to use the method introduced in Even Smarter Post Formats. I made a lot of changes to…

  • Working on Post Format o2

    Posted under

    I think I got Post Format working, somewhat, but I’m not quite done twitching with the theme yet. Besides, the Featured Post area in the index page is kind of difficult to style for, because of the different space requirements for the formats. Oh well, I’ll work on it some more tomorrow. And modifying the…

  • Some new stuff added

    Posted under

    Most of the additions have to do with comments. The most prominent is the CAPTCHA, because I have a rather rampant spam problem. Another is that comments posted will not need approval before they show up and visitors’ comments can be edited within a certain period of time. Another thing, which is kind of really…

  • Prettifying: part one point oh one

    Posted under

    YAAAY!! Apathetic Moon looks much much more like its old self now! I realized what went wrong after hours of digging into the Twenty Ten and Color Paper templates, and it’s my own stupidity that screwed up the whole theme. T_T On the bright side, there are a few small improvements. ^^ Not very visible,…

  • Prettifying my blog, part one.

    Posted under

    Using Leather theme as a temporary theme, I don’t like some parts of it. I hope I can get Color Paper to work again, I’m insanely in love with that theme like nobody’s business. Maybe I’ll just go ahead and make it a Twenty Ten child theme, post format friendly so I can make my…

  • All multisite-ed!

    Posted under

    Of course, I’m talking about about the other shizuyue.net sites, Lunadream and Drache. Using the method from Mixu’s tech blog, I moved both of them in very quickly and painlessly. One good thing is that I kept both of the sites at their most basic so nothing much can go wrong. Now that they are…

  • Got multisite working, finally

    Posted under

    After drooling at it for so long, I can finally host all of my separate sites under a single WordPress installation! Many thanks to my wonderful webhost who moved my site over to a new webserver and added the configuration necessary for multisite to work.
