- (1) Cormullion, we have only one way to read your old posts at the moment - random. Is it right?
(2) Cormullion and others, do you get lot of spam on your blog? I never got one (on blogspot com).

Cormullion, newLISP Bayesian Comment Spam Killer (blog post)
Cormullion is too modest to promote his articles, but this might be good place for every NL related link, people like alive communities poll said. Two questions:

:) I suppose I'm hoping that RSS/Atom is sufficient to provide anyone interested with news of more of my scribblings.
You can read specific posts if you know the post-id. Or you can use the search box. The search function needs a lot more work (it's neither reliable nor bullet-proof) but it generates some results, at least for now. Search for 'html' to get every HTML-formattted post and every non-HTML post which mentions that abbreviation (so that finds all of them). Or search for 'a' or 'the' or 'I'! The search text is (I think) a regular expression search. To find posts submitted after 23:00, try 'T23:'. :)
During the time I kept the comments form open, I received over 500 comments, and about 18 were genuine. I think Blogger and Wordpress have big powerful spam-detection systems, and many also provide user authentication and stuff too. One of the reasons for writing your own blogging app is that you get a chance to learn about these things for yourself, but it's obviously a disadvantage in some ways when you don't get all these luxuries built in.
By the way, the spam detector used to operate in real time - the database was built afresh and used every time a comment was submitted. I was going to add some caching but never got round to it. But the few seconds weren't noticeable by users though...

At last count, I monitor 316 rss feeds, yours might just get lost ;)cormullion wrote::) I suppose I'm hoping that RSS/Atom is sufficient to provide anyone interested with news of more of my scribblings.
I would hope that you (or anyone), would post at least a title and link to any new (or old) blog articles... That way, real comments could be posted and discussed here in the forum...
Maybe Ryon could add blog articles to:

newLISP in the real world
Q&A's, tips, howto's, blog articles

Good info in the article by the way :)
