Sheesh.  I'm getting HUNDREDS of 'trackbacks' on this blog from spammers....Cialis, Viagra, and Texas Hold'em peddlers, mostly.  When the trackback service is enabled, my inbox dings every minute or two with a 'trackback notification' from some jerk-wad spammer. 

I just read through the comments on Anil John's blog entry on the same topic, and there's a note there from Scott Hanselman (one of the dasBlog programmers) that implies they may have solved this problem with a recent software update. 

I can't wait to get the new version up and running....Thanks Guys!!!

Be sure to visit all the options undfer "Configuration" in the Admin Menu Bar above. There are 16 themes to choose from, and you can also create your own.

In posting to dasBlog, when an image file name contains a string that's in your 'Content Filters' list, the image's src attribute gets corrupted. 

For example, whenever I enter eXist in a blog entry, the Content Filters pick it up and make it a hyperlink to http://www.exist-db.org.  If I try to add an image to a post where part of the image's file name is 'eXist', I end up with a red X.  Easily fixed ('exist'-with a lower case 'x'-doesn't get filtered), but it would be pretty neat if the filter didn't apply itself to stuff like that.

After yesterday's whining about how bad things were...

We actually were able to catch the guy who stole my wife's rings...and convince him to give them back...all in about 1/2 hour's time. 

It turns out my inability to delete dasBlog entries was a 'permissions' problem...it seems pretty obvious (now) that the worker processes used by the application would need 'delete' permissions on the file system before I can delete entries.
