I first setup this blog in August 29th and here I am writing my second post at 2:30am November 14. That's right I still haven't got into the regular blogging habit yet.

I couldn't sleep again, so I thought I do a little work on my blog. That's when I found I had 7408 spam comments! First order of business was to tweak my comments settings and delete them all.

Second, I installed Mollom. Mollom is a great spam detection service. I've used it on a number of sites already and am quite pleased with it. This should solve my spam problem for a while.

Then I made some theme tweaks. Originally, I tried to use only CSS and not use any HTML page template at all, just use whatever Drupal outputted by default. I ran into some layout issues in IE. I probably could have fixed it if I took the time to play with the CSS a little, but I thought it would be more efficient to use a starter theme. So I installed the NineSixty theme which uses the 960 Grid System. I've been a fan of grids and CSS frameworks, particularly 960 for a long time now.

I also installed a few modules every Drupal site is supposed use, namely CCK, Views, Token and Pathauto. I setup a quick free tagging category for my blog posts, which now uses a custom content type rather than the 'story' type I used on my first post. All boring, ho-hum, Drupal stuff.

Maybe tomorrow I'll setup an RSS feed. Aren't all blogs supposed to have that? Then hopefully soon I'll write about something worthy of an RSS subscription. As it sits now, I wouldn't even subscribe to this blog.
