In reply to: Blog URL not behaving — how to fix trailing slash problemWow, Iridiax, how about you answer the actual question instead of having a go at how an establishment chooses to implement their URL?
Oh, 10 months ago, I see you couldn’t be bothered.

In reply to: Excerpt not visible in Rss 2 feedThanks I’ve been looking for that – just for interest the advantage to putting an image in the excerpted feed is that it allows you to include a visual element which may draw more people to your article, in an aggregator for example, but it doesn’t publish the entire feed, therefore people can come to your site to read the entire article if they want to. That’s why I want it, anyway.

In reply to: Bandwidth and bad_botsI now redirect all bad bots to a ‘formtrap’ page, which in PHP builds a form with 500 elements, but puts a 2000 second delay in between each creation! If the bot ever stayed that long without timing out, it would get trapped for over 27 hours!!
My hope is it actually crashes the bot. It’s fairly light on resources too as hardly any page is generated. Since I installed it only one bot has come in. I don’t know if the others are trapped, or are now avoiding my site.
Ha ha.

In reply to: combat new trackback spamPipe in —- is that the Unix pipe? Maybe we’ll just ignore you in future.
Oh and for the record, your flame included the phrase:
…but when asked a specific set of questions…
yet your first post included:
I guess my question is…
Not very convincing for a ‘specific question’. Maybe you should spend more time figuring out the solution yourself, before asking for advice, if you don’t like what you get back – since you appear to have solved the problem yourself anyway after finding WP users advice so unhelpful.
