Thanks to Poonam for pointing this out to me. If you have visited my post on the “hacked” WordPress Javascript Quicktags you might be aware of a Mozilla bug that forces the page to jump to the beginning of a textarea when a tag is inserted. Alex first wrote about this bug in WordPress and fixed it and I have fixed my own version of the quicktags as well. To remind my readers, the quicktags give you the ability to add: Automatic CSS dropshadows for images Automatic CSS dropshadows for text Capitalization (can be used for many purposes) Small size and large sized text Left or right floating pictures and text etc. Download the modified WordPress Quicktags hack from here Find more information, helpful hints and discussion on this post.

Click Counter plugin for Wordpress

I call this the “Three Strikes” Spam Prevention Plugin. This plugin is designed to prevent comment spam from even hitting your system and leaving you with a flood of approval requests and a bunch of comments to be deleted. While dealing with some moderated comments on my system, I started to realize that most of the REAL Spam could easily be categorized as delete fodder by a “fuzzy” points system. In toying with the idea and testing the various scenarios, I have put together a plugin that keeps tracks of the “strikes” of a comment and then prevents the comment from ever getting into your database and making more work for you.
