It should only be about 140kb. Others have been successful with downloading… perhaps you should try re-downloading?

Thanks for all the replies guys! I don’t need any more testers at this time.

Hey there, I was just stopping by here but thought I’d let you know for sure: You’re more than welcome to customize Hemingway. In fact, I encourage it ??

In my next release I’ll have a more explicit lisencing statement, but in the meantime assume it’s MIT (do whatever you want with any part of it).

Well, you could edit up something like wp-rss2.php, which just uses the loop here:

<?php $items_count = 0; if ($posts) { foreach ($posts as $post) { start_wp(); ?>

Add a query_posts before it so it’s something like:

<?php query_posts('showposts=100000000');$items_count = 0; if ($posts) { foreach ($posts as $post) { start_wp(); ?>

Perhaps I should have clarified: I’ve accomplished what I need from UTW in 30 lines of code ??

Nope. I looked at UTW, but it just looked like too much bloat to me. I’ve accomplished what UTW offers in about 30 lines of code.

Though, thanks for the tip. Looks like I was looking for the hook: template_redirect

Thanks for the kind words ?? I’m glad you got the whole “homepage” kind of feel as that’s exactly what I was hoping for. The main purpose of this redesign was to make a personal site not just a blog.

BTW, if any of you are curious about past versions of Warpspire, the first 3 are available to look at on the about page (take a look about 1/2 way down).

/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

In your options/permalinks section “structure” field.

Because that’s where he lives? ??

I hope you not to remember this night!

Thanks for all the kind words.

How I achieved this is painstakingly selectively choosing which categories not to display via some interesting php loops. I also put a lot of the information into local arrays… now I know that there are easier (and better) ways to do this (preferably, I would have used the is_* functions had they been available when I was coding this). However, now that I’ve got the basic architecture in place – adding new sections and categories is a breeze.

Also interesting to see you guys like the header… that was more an afterthought than anything else ??

Haha… nice one ?? I just grabbed it too… gonna give it a run for it’s money. I like the new dashboard.

I don’t see how we’d be giving them a false sense of security… the average user is completely oblivious to comment spam as a whole until it affects them. I understand your point, however the point isn’t to create a bulletproof option, but rather an option that makes it so difficult on the spammer’s end that it’s just not worth their time. That’s the goal. Whether it’s a hack or not doesn’t change the subject… it’s the same solution, and in the end a spammer could potentially work around a hack just as well as a pre-packaged countermeasure.
If you can honestly give me a good reason why we should not pre-package a method like this, please do tell me. And don’t use the “spammers will create countermeasures” excuse, because we both know you cannot eliminate spam – not even with required user registrations and automatically generated images – eventually some spam will get through. But that’s not the point as I said earlier… we’re trying to make it so hard that it’s not worth the spammer’s efforts.

AFAIK the only “bots” that accept cookies are ones using IE via COM controls, which are terribly complex at that point – and completely not worth the effort of the script makers.

Another idea just came to mind: Cookies.
While requiring cookies for comments might be against some people’s religion, it would be a great way to prevent comment spam. Simply have the site send a cookie whenever someone looks at a post – and check against that cookie in wp-comments-post.php. This would all but eliminate bots.

Can you please cite a wordpress spamming bot that does this. As far as I’m aware, 98% of wordpress spamming bots simply ask for wp-comments-post.php. Since I’ve implemented a version of this hack of various sites, I haven’t gotten one single spam comment in over 2 months. I’d call it a pretty viable solution.
I agree that it’s possible for them to circumvent this.. but not likely. Right now WP is more or less the easiest way to post comment spam… you just call wp-comments-post.php and send your data and it shows up. Doesn’t even check against whether a post exists yet or not.
