Congrats, PH, your visit this (well, actually yesterday) morning to comment on the Eid post was the 10,000th visit to my blog since I installed Site Meter way back in my Blogspot times.
Spent a long time there reading as well, or did you just forget to close the window? 
Anyway, I need your name and address now to send you your prize. 
Nawww, joking, although there should be some price in some way. Ideas, ideas…. 
Ok, there are several plugins available for comment preview in Wordpress.
Three got mentioned more often than others. All three are easy to install, it says: download files, upload plugin, activate in dashboard, bingo!
The one I’d have liked to have the most may not function automatically if you do not use the default template (Yay, I use default! 
) or edited the default template (I edited it cos the default colours sucked! 
).
Ok, no worries, the plugin author explains what to do to make it work. Er. Maybe it’s just me, but the way he omits what he apparently considers obvious, I think he might have saved himself the effort of writing anything at all because his help seems to be based on the maxim: “Aw, you already know what to do anyway, right?”.
I think I did what he said, but comment preview refused to appear.
On the other hand, I don’t seem to be the only person who doesn’t get it to work, so maybe the plugin sucks and not the code editing attempt?
Ok, second choice. Hm, didn’t appear either. And no explanation what to do if that happens, cos you just download, upload, activate and use. Er. No?
That left me with plugin number 3.
I downloaded, uploaded, activated…. and voilà: comment preview.
Hope you’ll all have fun with it, and not just Lynnette.
This little treasure turned up way back on my “Happy Easter” post.
The domain name comes back as “Never Registered Before” on a database that claims to know all “current/deleted/expired” domains.
This is so…… pointless. Spam in its purest form… Enjoy.

Excuse me, is there anyone with an IQ higher than that of a loaf of white bread who’d trust in finding some honest program for spyware removal under that address?????
Two days ago Akismet caught this comment spam:
Real Hot Mom | link censored | IP: 69.59.__.__
Real Hot Mom…
Have you done a good research on Google before you post this?…
Excuse me?
Excuse me?!
Excuse me?!?
Excuse me?!?!
This person/thing asks me if my research for my post was thorough, while trying to advertise real hot moms on my blog?!
Friends, I’m suffering pc trouble at the moment. Don’t know when I will be back. Can’t stay online for more than a few minutes at a time. Wish me luck in locating the damaged software that a friend thinks must be the reason.
But….. I will be back!!!!!! *defiant stance*
Ok, just in case I am attracting new readers here (*giggles* Well, a girl can dream, eh?) I’ll recap what I’ve been mentioning in my last post over at Blogger.
Well, actually, I’ll make this a longer story, I guess.
For quite some time now, people have been trying to invite me to get a Gmail account. I’ve always declined for the simple reason that people way more geeky than me said that these people do have a very valid point.
Well, yes, in a way, you’re selling most of your privacy rights the moment you go online, and the more you use the net, the more this is true. But I think this is the very reason why we should try to preserve what privacy and rights we have. I simply object to Google’s nosiness. I regularly delete my Google search cookies. And I will continue to decline Gmail invites.
And then Blogger gets eaten by Google. At first I was even willing to bow to the inevitable with time. I didn’t really read the detailed information on the “upgrade” then, so I wasn’t even aware that a Gmail account would be part of the “upgrade”. Anyway, the new Blogger was suffering major flaws, so I figured I’d better wait until they fixed that before upgrading. The test version became the real thing, and still Google Blogger blogs had downtimes at least twice a week. Sometimes it was impossible to comment on some of those blogs for several days, and not only for old Blogger users but at least in one case I am aware of for the blog owner himself!
Then came the day when I wanted to log in to my blog and was redirected to a page that required me to update to Google Blogger and create a Gmail account before proceeding. After some time I figured out that deleting all of my Blogger, Google Blogger and Google cookies enabled me to log in to old Blogger again. As I had been helping someone out with his Google Blogger blog, I thought Blogger might have become confused by the cookies set at that time, and that the problem was now solved.
But it turned out that it hadn’t. More and more often I had to go through the tedious “delete all Google/Blogger related cookies” with an added “clear history” routine to get access to my blog without upgrading. Also, I very often was unable to comment on Google Blogger blogs. The above mentioned routine works for that problem as well….. Most of the time.
I don’t like getting forced to do things, so I very quickly grew sick of this and decided to move my blog. WordPress seemed the obvious solution. I decided to move my blog to wordpress.com before realizing that this was not quite the right thing for me either, but to that later.
I was very relieved that I was still using old Blogger when working my way through WordPress’ “import” function. I see that has changed by now (although you have to get authorization from Google first…), but at the time WP could only import old Blogger blogs. OK:
Oh, bugger…Eventually I found out that clearing my history, deleting all Google/Blogger cookies and disabling cookies before embarking on step 3 did the trick.
Unfortunately wordpress.com only offers very limited space for its blogs and has this weird aversion to javascript. So here I am, using wordpress.org software on my very own rented server space!
Now I only needed to change the link to the new blog that I had left over at my Blogger blog. Right. Last Wednesday and Thursday I repeatedly deleted the evil cookies, cleared my history, even including restarting my computer…. to no avail. I kept getting redirected to the “upgrade or die” page.
Still, Google Google Blogger makes it sound as if the “upgrade” is just an option that Blogger users have, and not mandatory at all.
On Friday morning I was very surprised when I was able to log in and edit my post and the link. Well, some of you have already found it.
After this lengthy - and likely rather boring - explanation I officially bid you welcome to Melantrys’ new playground! 
I hope you’ll have fun.
P.S.: It would be really cool if some of my faithful “fans” here who only allow registered Google/Blogger users to comment on their blogs might consider trying to allow “others” as well. For one thing, this would allow me to bid my Blogger account a final good-bye, and secondly, I am rather sure that sooner or later I will not be able to comment using my old Blogger account anymore. 
Yes indeed, faithful readers, today he was at the store again.
He passed behind me in the cosmetics’ aisle and said hello.
Oh, and he was wearing a Slipknot jacket, so he escaped getting spanked.
Oh, and I installed Site Meter yesterday, so beware! I might know now when and how often you visit my site, mwahahahahahaha.
So, Hassan, is it nice living in Sachsen? lol
Seems like for some reason my posts are suddenly being eaten in the publishing process when I use Opera.
IE works just fine which surprises me a bit, because it didn’t work for Hassan. So of course I didn’t even try, except for just now in a “going through the motions” way because Blogger Support had asked me to in an email.
Ahhh, this is all so confusing! And weird.
And it’s definitely too late in the day now to write a real post with all the stuff that’s been sloshing through my brain.
Well, I suppose I’ll have a lot of time for that tomorrow.
I gather I’ll be off work early because all the customers will faint when I breathe on them.
My, was there a lot of garlic on that pizza!!!!
1. Hooray!
Seems that posting is the secret cure.
I posted, and my picture was gone.
2. I sincerely apologize for inconveniencing the people who comment on this here blog, few as they may be, but it seems now that each time I post I get an automated spam comment.
So please bear with the boring word verification thingy. It only wants to know if you are a person or not.
At this point I heave a blubbery sigh and say good-bye to my favourite search bot. Frenzie, it was sure nice having you here.
