Shameless Plug Sunday

From time to time we open up the B&P Shameless Plug Line, where you can plug your own website. 

B&P Turns 11

It was eleven years ago yesterday that the very first post  appeared on Bits & Pieces.  It’s been a wild ride at times.  I’ve posted some interesting, weird and funny things along the way… many of which you’ve contributed.  Thank you.!

I’ve met a lot of interesting people, both online and in person.  I’ve heeded [...]

More Website Problems

You may have noticed that B&P has been a little sluggish in loading the last day or two.  With what little skills I have, I’ve determined that someone in the Ukraine has been trying to hack into the site.  I’ve found and inserted some code to block anyone from the Ukraine from accessing the site…. or at least [...]

Amazon.com links

You can support Bits & Pieces when you shop at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk by clicking the links in the right sidebar  (at the top and bottom).   Any purchases you make help support B&P without costing you an additional penny.  We appreciate your support.

Making changes – The Saga Continues

As many of you know I’ve been trying to switch my internet, phone and TV service to cable. I had two installation appointments but the installed couldn’t do the installation because there was nothing to hook up to on my end of the street.   I hadn’t heard anything… nothing at all from the cable company [...]

We’ve got mail!

We don’t get a lot of real mail at B&P so I don’t check my post office box too often but I did yesterday since I had to go by the post office to drop off some mail.  Amongst the many flyers and junk mail that was in there was this letter from Peggy who lives [...]

I’m Tinkering With Spam Settings…

I made a few changes in the settings of a couple plugins for WordPress to see if that might slow the spam comments. The main one is that I’ve disallowed commenting from behind proxy servers.

 If you have any trouble leaving a comment please email me and let me know.

Spam in record numbers

I’ve gotten almost 1,100 spam comments overnight.  That’s a record.  The vast majority of them have links to one site.  Those comments don’t see the light of day as they go straight to the spam folder.   I’m trying to find a way to bypass them even going in there so I don’t have to keep deleting [...]
