I had some interesting spam messages today. Well not interesting enough to leave them on my site but in their mark-up. Every single link had the attribute rel=”nofollow” defeating the biggest goal the spammer is after, link credit. The only thing he accomplished was me reading the comment and give me a laugh.

Finally, after several months searching for a good apartment, we got one.
It’s a nice souterrain apartment, luckily backyard is facing south, giving us a bright living room. We still have to wait until the first of may to get the keys but then we can start painting and start arguing about the merging of our furniture.

I have written 2 new plugins for Joomla! 1.5 today, Widont and Nofollow.
Widont based on a excellent plugin by Shaun Inman for wordpress, but I needed it’s functionality for Joomla! so ported it for Joomla! 1.5. It makes sure your content title or heading don’t have a single word on the next line.

The second is plugin just makes sure every outgoing link in your content has the link attribute “nofollow”. Some Joomla! sites might needed it with a lot of user generated content.

Both can be found on the Joomla! project page, enjoy.

Site has been updated!
A new theme based on Blix for the complete domain of bijland.net, Blix has been updated for latest wordpress and pages have been adjusted as well as some css.
It still needs some tweaking and debugging so please report if you find something.

I have been browsing the wordpress codex and building a new theme on top of the blix theme. Blix isn’t wordpress 2.1 compatible, maybe now it is, and has some query intensive pages. This is already solved and layout of this blog is unfolding privately for one massive update so hold on.
