Upgrading to WordPress 2.1 – WP_CACHE error
I’m in the initial test stages of upgrading to WordPress 2.1 from 2.0.7.

Too many spams slipping through Akismet – added Bad Behaviour
I’ve had a few spam comments slipping through the Akismet filters, so I’ve decided to add Bad Behaviour. I’ll need to tidy up the footer, though. To be honest, I don’t have many comments on my blogs, so I could probably disable them completely.

Invalid XHTML due to DupPrevent with upper-case META
The plug-in DupPrevent gave me a failure when trying to validate my HTML using validator.w3.org. It has the tag META in upper-case. According to www.w3.org it should be lower-case for XHTML 1.0. I’ll write a comment on the author’s page.

Installing phpBB2 v2.0.22
I’m installing phpBB2 on several websites. These are my installation notes. First attempt – tried to use “Attempt to FTP config file into place” option, but I seemed to go round in circles – “Finish” just led to the install again. Prior to the second installation, I removed all tables from the database, and reconfirmed…
