Annoying Stuff

When I updated to the latest version of WordPress my old reliable spam filter died, so I’ve been deleting dozens of comments trying to sell me counterfeit designer handbags or cheap drugs, as well as some just looking for links.

I tried the standard method of installing the new spam filter, but the page where you activate plugins doesn’t see it, although the new page for adding plugins knows about it.

As they are working on yet another new version of WordPress, I doubt anyone will look into the problem.

I have also been doing some genealogy research to fill in some gaps for the family record on my father’s side.

Election tomorrow in Florida which finds me unlikely to vote for anyone with ‘incumbent’ next to their name.
