The blog works, knock on wood
There is this term in the software world: upgrade. You think it might mean upgrade but it doesn't necessarily. Sometimes it means two weeks of maddening frustration, searching forums, waiting, crashing, workarounds, headaches, screaming, cursing, and contemplated defenestrations. So it has been with the Mises blog, but after all of this, the system seems to have stabilized. A major factor here is that all the world's spam comments seem to be directed mainly at the Mises blog, so getting the creeps banned is #1 priority.
In any case, the new build is working, we have a new search thing, and the design is better (though not as good as it will be in the next go round). I'm reminded again that I have no patience for serious software work, and hence my gratitude to Chris Pruden and Aristotle Esguerra for putting this all together. If it crashes again, they bear all responsibility (just teasing guys).
Comments (3)
As you know, comments on an item are emailed to the blogposter. When I receive comment spam, I *could* (and have, sometimes) go in and delete it manually. Usually, I don't have time.
On a future upgrade, it would be rockin' if the comment email I receive had a "report spam" link which would delete the comment *and* add it to a spam list for you.

How do you go back to previous blog posts? I'm only seeing one page of the most recent posts.

Jeffrey,
An unconditional thank you for all the hours you worked on the blog. No recommendations or criticisms...just a thank you.
