Plutonica.net upgrades and updates
By Psyche | March 29, 2008
Over the past two days I’ve been making changes to Plutonica.net.
I’ve updated Plutonica.net‘s look and feel a bit, with a new background, a less dense header image, and fixed the page and entry formatting problems some IE users were experiencing. (If anyone’s still experiencing problems, please let me know.)
To combat spam1 and linkbaiting2 I’ve changed the commenting policy. Now all comments must be approved prior to appearing on the website.
The About page has also been revamped, with new text and a picture of yours truly, and my instant messaging user IDs have been added to the Contact page.
On the back end, Plutonica.net has upgraded to WordPress 2.5. Now when you log in to the back end it will take you directly to your profile, where you can add your website, instant messaging IDs and even enter a brief bio.
I think I’ve worked out all the bugs from a front end perspective, but if anyone experiences any problems, please let me know. Thanks!

- Since October 2007 I have blocked more than 300 spam comments. [back]
- Considered by many to be a form of spam, an example of linkbaiting would be comments posted to the blog for the sole purpose of linking back to the commentator’s own blog or website – usually because they’re selling something. [back]
Sexy, sexy!
I started a Word Press blog months ago that I hope to eventually move to, but it’s far inferior to yours. I especially like all the goodies that come through in the syndicated posts on LJ, but perhaps I’m just easily amused. :P
Namaste.
Thanks!
Most of the add ons to the feed come from Feedburner, except for the copyright notice, which is curtsy of a plugin called © Feed, by Frank Bueltge.
Do click on them though, if you think a post is worthwhile. It helps bring the blog to wider attention, which means more comments and questions, which suggests new stuff to write about :)
