Over the past month, this blog has picked up a huge ammount of comment spam. Due to a bug in the blog software I am using, when I try to delete one comment, it usually deletes all the comments for the post including legitimate ones. Upgrading the software has proved to be a massive hassel in the past, so I don't think I will be going down that road.

Consequently, I have decided that I need to move to a new blogging platform. Now don't worry, the blog will be right here and the URL won't change, but everything will be fresh, new and empty. I'm not sure what platform I will use since I want a truely flexible setup, but be warned - large changes are coming.

If anyone knows of some flexible, versatile and free blogging software, please let me know. Right now I am considering WordPress or WikyBlog.

EDIT: In an effort to get rid of comment spam, I have deleted all comments posted in the last sixty days. I don't think any comments were left in that period, but if I deleted anyone's comments I am sorry.

A wonderful Linux command is: sudo find /web/sean/blog/content -type f -mtime -60 | xargs rm -f which deletes any file created in the last sixty days in the folder and sub folders of your choice. Yay for time saving!
