Blog Housekeeping

I’ve been guilty of neglecting the site for the past couple of months so I’m taking a few hours to do a little housekeeping. I noticed quite a few problems over the last week or two:

  1. My Twitter profile search monkey application had broken, either due to a change in Twitter’s markup or a tweak to Yahoo Search Monkey.
  2. The sample recipe search had problems, thanks to my host switching the default to PHP 4 (from PHP 5).
  3. Yahoo deleted the recursive pipe that I was using for twitter map widget which meant that markers weren’t showing up properly.
  4. The blog comment form stopped working. Not sure what caused this, something to do with FCKeditor and browser compatibility, I think.
  5. I was getting a lot of spam comments, so a few tweaks were made to confuse the spambots.

All these problems should now be fixed but please let me know if they recurr or if you find any other issues.

I recently relaunched my personal site too, which is now a Web 2.0 lifestream so head on over and check it out.

There is some great content in the pipeline for the next few weeks too, including a new look at hSlices, so don’t forget to subscribe to the RSS feed to get new posts the moment they are published.

nice post.

Great to hear that you are doing house keeping your self. Normally people do not tend to do it. You have also given good points that should be followed while house keeping. All in all nice post.

Short of words.

As we need to take care of our homes, it is very much necessary to take care of our websites and blogs too. I am absolutely sure that it is very an important aspect of making your blog famous and updated. Nice post all in all.
