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:

1. (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).

:) 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 ;)

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 :)
