There were no instructions on the pros and cons, and I had a vague memory that shorter URLs were less of a server hit than longer ones (almost certainly a remnant of the days when I worked for a site that got millions of page-views per day, rather than the dozen we get at MWD). <BR/><BR/>As a result, our URLs are easy to guess, and we are innundated with spam comments. Luckily, Akismet solves 99% of the problem, but it's caught 16,011 spams as of 7:24 this morning -- less than 3 months after we installed it. Many days we top 1,000 spam comments. Ugh. I hope there's no upper limit on comment numbering in WP, as even the deleted comments eat up a sequential number.Anita (Married... with dinner)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16158306976034229048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12044784.post-1168914051075680492007-01-15T18:20:00.000-08:002007-01-15T18:20:00.000-08:00scott: I do that too, drives me nuts.

After about 50 recipes I realized the numbers went nothing, so I went back and edited all the post titles, CHANGING ALL THE URLS. Now that was a dumb mistake. Live and learn. Hopefully they are re-indexed by now, LOL.Kalyn Dennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12044784.post-1168891716061888712007-01-15T12:08:00.000-08:002007-01-15T12:08:00.000-08:00If you'd like volunteers to join the Homer Simpson...If you'd like volunteers to join the Homer Simpson "D'oh!" choir I'll join and I'm sure there'll be plenty of others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
