I encountered a problem a week or so ago with CommentLuv.
Whenever I’d go to comment on another site, CommentLuv would say there’s a feed error, and it wouldn’t let display my last blog post in the comment.

So, how do you avoid getting banned?

These days many people prefer to have their applications in the cloud, instead of hosting them by themselves.
For example, people who use Gmail prefer accessing e-mail through a web browser instead of downloading their e-mail and viewing it with an e-mail program.
But what happens if Google loses your e-mail? The answer, for some, might be Backupify, a new cloud backup service.

The difficult thing about blogging with WordPress is the spam comments you have to deal with.
Everyday, there can be dozens of absolutely inane comments like these:
Some, however, are a little trickier:
