The Golden Age of Adam’s Blog Weekend Open Trackbacks

Posted by Adam Graham in : Open Trackbacks

If you were here last week, you’ve no doubt noticed some changes to the blog. We now have a golden template instead of the old blue one. I like the new color scheme and the picture is just as good as the old one.

What’s even nicer is what’s going on behind the scenes of the blog. With the installation of the latest version of b2evolution, spam trackbacks will be a thing of the past with 96% of them being sent into “draft” mode which means you, the reader never see them. Real genuine trackbacks go through with ease so no worries there. The blog also seems to be loading a tad faster since the switch.

In the future, I’ll be looking to make it easier for you to comment. This weekend I hope to be able to try a plugin/hack that will eliminate the comment registration requirement.

Let the Golden Age begin.

Now, onto the Party. First, the rules:

1) Post about anything that’s in good taste. No porn, no spam, no profanity.

2) Send me a trackback of any tasteful post you want and as soon as I check my blog, I’ll update this post with your link provided you link back to this thread. If your software won’t allow you to send trackbacks, just use the Wizbang Standalone Pinger
3) Deadline is Sunday at 11:00 PM MT. Further trackbacks won’t be posted after that time.

For your convenience here’s today’s link and the trackback:
