The only difference is our list is better, and we have more features such as stats. * It’s funny how you have left a negative review for every other spam blocker apart from your own… * However, it looks like you have made mistake on this review: [https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/wp-block-referral-spam?filter=5](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/wp-block-referral-spam?filter=5) * You gave it 5 stars but said it does not work??! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Setup plugin wp-pagenavi for Thesis 2.x](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setup-plugin-wp-pagenavi-for-thesis-2x/) * [Ricky Dawn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thiswebguy/) * (@thiswebguy) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setup-plugin-wp-pagenavi-for-thesis-2x/#post-3235982) * Nice one thanks, I’m in the process of setting up thesis 2 on my blog [This Web Guy](http://www.thiswebguy.com)– I hate the older -> newer buttons. * By any chance do you know how to setup posts like: [http://www.copyblogger.com/blog/](http://www.copyblogger.com/blog/) so two full width and the rest in square 2 column boxes?
