Comment validation and more

Well, I got comment validation set up (thanks Anne!) so now, on the offchance that anyone wants to comment, they can. I’ll (hopefully sometime soon) go through and hack it to exactly how I please, and write the rules down somewhere. For now I don’t quite know exactly what they are myself.

I have a few other things I need to do, like going through and removing a bunch of title attributes on <abbr> tags, changing the doctype to strict, changing the layout, etc. I’ve never worked with PHP or Apache, so this’ll be a learning experience.

Ew, I just noticed how ugly the URLs here are. index.php?p=30#comments for comments, index.php?cat=1 for a category link, wp-commentsrss2.php for an RSS feed… I guess I have a lot to do to fix this up… (that or I’ll be switching to Robbert Broersma’s that Anne referred me to, once it’s complete).

  1. [...] the comments? I’m guessing it has something to do with the comment moderation plugin I’m using… Comments » [...]

    Let’s test it! By the way, cleaning up the URIs is quite trivial. Keeping the old ones alive is a bit harder.

    Trivial how? :-P

    Does it have anything to do with symlinks?

    Oh, and I don’t mind breaking links yet. Once things have stabilized more and I’m not making changes so often, then I’ll mind.

    I think WordPress has included most of the steps in some readme and also in the admin panel. It has to do with mod_rewrite though.
