Blogroll Favicons

Can I have your attention on the left column/sidebar of my blog. Noticed the little icons below “Linklog and Clippings”? They are part of my newest work on the website: the favicon blogroll.
Instead of putting just the links to the websites I read or recommend, you have its favicon rapped in a nice css mouse over effect! For the curious ones here’s the code I’ve used Read the rest of this entry »

The Date

A minor update on my website’s php code: if you look at the bottom of my blog, to the footer you see Vitor Azevedo (the copyright sign) 2004 - 2005
Do I have to change it every year? No, because it uses php code:


©Vitor Azevedo 2004–< ?php echo date('Y'); ?>


A similar code is also used in the “About Vitor” section:


$dia = date("d");
$mes = date("m");
if ($dia < 12 and $mes ==01) {
echo date("Y")-1983;}
else
{echo date("Y")-1982;}

Guess what’s my birthday!

bbPress

I’ll give bbPress a try. It’s

a forum software with a twist. bbPress is focused on web standards, ease of use, ease of integration, and speed.

to see if it can be useful on my website.
It is still my believe that the forum from Wordpress.org is to weak for the size of WP blogging software, lacking more and better user tools like “check my posts”, “view latest unanswered posts”, “subscribing”, etc.

Anti Spam

In order to stop the 50 or plus spam emails that i get everyday, i´ve decided to implement Jeff Barr´s simple script. This means that to be able to post a comment you now need to enter my first name in a field:

Entering something different that my first name and you´ll get an error message alerting you to correct the situation. Remember to use lowercase characters!
I hope that this stops the damn spam spiders.
