For now, at least. There&#8217;s always more projects coming down the line somewhere. :)<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned before, comments will now automatically turn off after 30 days. Most conversations only really continue for a day or two after a post goes up anyway, and this limits the number of entries on my site that can be targeted by comment spammers. I&#8217;ve decided to go ahead and leave TrackBacks open, however, for two reasons. Firstly, there are posts that will continue to be relevant as time goes by, so I don&#8217;t mind getting pings long after a post originally went up; and secondly, turning off TrackBack pings also removes them from the page entirely, and I&#8217;d prefer to keep them visible.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also re-installed <a href=\"http:\/\/kalsey.com\/blog\/\" title=\"Adam Kalsey\">Adam Kalsey<\/a>&#8216;s <a href=\"http:\/\/mt-plugins.org\/archives\/entry\/simplecomments.php\" title=\"MovableType Plugin Directory: SimpleComments\">SimpleComments<\/a> plugin, which integrates comments and trackbacks together. This way, rather than having all TrackBack pings listed together above the comments, there is one single chronological list that combines both.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, I&#8217;ve integrated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gravatar.com\/\" title=\"Gravatar - Globally Recognized Avatar\">Gravatar<\/a> support, so those of you who have Gravatar icons will now see them displayed along with any comments you leave here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941.10000002&amp;subid=0&amp;type=4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" width=\"61\" height=\"15\" alt=\"iTunes\" src=\"http:\/\/images.apple.com\/itunesaffiliates\/logos\/iTunes_sm_bdg61x15.png\"><\/a> \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DTai-Fun%2526albumTerm=Essential Chillout%2526songTerm=Space Food%26partnerId%3D30\">Space Food<\/a>\u201d by <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DTai-Fun%26partnerId%3D30\">Tai-Fun<\/a> from the album <em><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DTai-Fun%2526albumTerm=Essential Chillout%26partnerId%3D30\">Essential Chillout<\/a><\/em> (1999, 6:57).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some few final tweaks to the comments tonight, and I think I&#8217;m finally done tinkering.
