I recently ran into a couple of situations where I wished I could have stopped comments on my blogs without having to lose any of the other settings. A recent comment flood attempt comes to mind. Dougal came up with the wonderful Spammer Tar Pit plugin to temporarily stop the floods and that plugin gave me some ideas that I put together into another set of plugins.

Once there, just create a link called “Excerpted feed” somewhere in the sidebar to link to that file (or anywhere else really, just not within the loop) in order to allow people to subscribe to the excerpted feed. You can also add it to the <head> section of index.php as well if you choose, but this is not necessary. If you want the default to be an excerpted […]
