By default, WordPress doesn’t support threaded (nested) comments. I have looked out for this option and found a plugin here. I have just installed and configured it. I am gonna try out its operation in this post.

I have installed and configured Spam Karma and Referrer Karma to this blog. Earlier in my test implementation of WordPress, I was receiving spam comments at an approximate rate of 5 – 10 every day. These two tools seems to control the spam actively. I have found Blogginpro using these two. And now? Spammers, face your karma here!

After a hell of searches, I have come across the right theme, Gila. It perfectly matches what I wanted, three column design that uses 100% of the page width. Gila is really too cool. The only problem that I heard about it is that the pages that contain small post (where the middle column is smaller than the left or right columns) are not displayed properly in MSIE. But Firefox is displaying it fine. Otherwise, this theme looks solid. I am planning to use the same theme for rest of the pages and the Gallery 2 as well.

Today, accidently I have come across the Open Source IP Router project. This effort seems to come up really well. This is definitely a helpful project for the use of students and network researchers as this is a really cost-effective solution.

I am planning to put up an image gallery for my site. I am wondering if I can go for Gallery 2 or Coppermine. I have already used Gallery (1.3) on puggy. Gallery is simple to configure and use. Coppermine seems to be complicated a lot. But it appears to be more powerful compared to Gallery. Gallery 2 changed a lot since 1.x. Till now, I am planning to use Gallery 2. But, I have a small consideration for Coppermine as well.

I have just set up this blog. Thanks to WordPress for providing a simple and powerful solution for blogging.
