theme? well I adapted the default one a couple of years ago, and probably needs updating now!

Hi Rich…I’ve just stumbled upon your site, and love the humor, the wit, and…the look. Can you tell me what WP theme you’re using?

Thanks,

Kat

I will ddman.

This refers to something I posted on the wordpress site:

I like the idea of blogging via email, but I feel the current set-up is open to possible spam appearing. Although suggesting use of random strings for the address is obviously a good idea, it would still be possible for spam to get to that mail box, and therefore be published onto your blog.

My suggestion is that an extra function is added whereby only emails that are tagged get published. This would be a secondary security measure.

eg.
Subject: [WP] blog title

The [WP] should be configurable from within WordPress, and be automatically stripped out before the article is published. This allows us to change it, and again it could be just a random string. The chances of both the email address and this tag being used would be remote.

Feasible?

I noticed on another site you posted with an edit to the wp-mail.php … I am also working on modifying the way e-mails are handled and I was interested in your ideas. Please e-mail me when you get a chance.

He he .. I had noticed that, Rich. 😉 I like some of the changes you’ve made. You could try using a .htaccess file and some rewrite rules to clean up the post URLs. Says he, yet to finish making such changes to his own blog.
