Bad Behavior seems to be successfully blocking the comment spam, so I have removed the requirement that I moderate all comments.
I was really enjoying the WIKI stuff I was doing, so I have activated the Textile2 plugin, to see if it makes posting a blog entry more fun. I like writing html with psgml in emacs, but getting there from wordpress is several steps:
* click on the html box
* right click on that and invoke mosex
* move to the emacs window
* get into html mode (for some reason, wordpress gives the file a .txt extension — if it were .html, we would be in html mode by default)
* remove the page template that psgml generates for you
* start typing html.
I still think Ctrl-C Ctrl-E tag name is a lot easier of a way to enter a tag than remembering a lot of different punctuation marks, but for a normal post with only a couple of links and lists, I think the textile markup may well be easier.
t turns out to be easier to deal with textile 2 list formatting if you turn off the rich visual editor.
Anyway, I’ll leave it for a while, but I may go back to emacs.
