thanks matt.. i just had found those… stupid windows, i do a recursive search in /www/wp/* for files containing ‘technorati’ (i had suspected something in the code) and it finds NOTHING…
commented those three feeds, and have everything else turned off.. so hopefully that’ll take care of mysterious traffic and inbound pings and searches….
is there a graceful way to toggle the dashboard or just it’s feeds, or is commenting out the middle part of wp-admin/index.php as pretty as it gets?
i remember installing an older version of wp awhile back on a live server to take a quick peek at it.. never posted or published the url anywhere.. played around with it for a few hours and pretty much just forgot about it for a couple weeks. yet it got a bunch of traffic (search engines and update services).. it even made google, got the attention of the baaaad r1aa bots and everything in that short amount of time! didn’t notice it til i was digging through logs looking for something else. that got me to realize, the www wasn’t a ‘web’ before, more like a maze with no exit, but blogs are what really, truly makes it a ‘web’.
