Disqus installed

Just playing around with my highly commented post, Celcom Broadband Review. It’s hard to handle all those comments. Especially if I wanted to reply to someone but I’m a bit late and someone else already posted a comment before me. A threaded reply would be good. Then I stumbled upon this great plugin, Disqus and install it right away. Is your blog readers active in commenting your post? I suggest you install it too. The installation process is a breeze.

Have you ever encounter such problem when you try to add a new category there is an error appear says that “You don’t have permission to do that” ? If yes, read on.

This happen to some wordpress user (including me) and until now there is no official patch for this error. It’s kinda annoying and it will limit your blogging activity as this error prevent you from adding a new category, modify an old post or even save your post for a draft.

I’ve tried many steps and follow all the help guides from other wordpress user in wordpress support forum and surprisingly none of it work out. Even if you update your wordpress to the latest version. Still it gave a same error. Gosh! :s tars:

Somehow I reached to SparePencil and he has released a mighty plugin that solve this problem. Cheers ;-)

Just upload the plugin and activate it. Done.

You can download it here.

Use Cryptographp to avoid nasty spam

After I activated the Top Commentators plugin, it rise in me that I should enhance my comment features more.

So I’ve been started using this cool plugin, Cryptographp this past few days and the result is amazing. Basically this plugin will generate random captchas so that automatic spam bots couldn’t have a chance to spam your blog. It works, by successfully stop 150+ spam daily through my blog. I can immediately turn off the spam filter by Akismet.

Some blog owner might say if you put up a captchas you might make your readers lose interest to leave a comment in your blog. C’mon, if it is a true reader and he/she have something worth to say it wouldn’t be a problem spending few seconds to type the few characters. Aite?

First time I installed it, the image of the captchas is kind of blurry and hard to read, so I’ve changed it to easy view. Yes, you can change the image. Choose what best for your blog.

If you interested download Cryptographp now and customize it.

Top Commentators plugin activated

Well I just put up top commentator plugin. As you can see it on my sidebar. This is nonetheless to encourage readers to comment on this blog and rewards the top commentator with backlinks thus increasing their Technorati ranking.

For your information, I also has removed the custom no follow tag on my comment form 2 months ago. Maybe some of you have noticed the backlinks that came from it. So your links will not be left over for the upcoming search engine crawl. It’ll be counted as normal backlink.

I hope there will be no abuse of this advantages. Use it wisely. Any comments that I think isn’t appropriate will be deleted right away. :angry:
