Image Comments

Ok, so you should now be able to post images in comments. Don’t abuse the privilege. Don’t post anything obscene. If you’re linking to something make sure its on your own domain or on one of the 8 million imagehosts out there.

Yes, I Changed It Again

And surely something will break and somebody will whine. Wah.

Forum Returns

By popular demand (and by popular I mean I was bored and a couple people asked for it), the forums here at OW.com have returned. Please enjoy.

Site Issues

In case you haven’t noticed by my lack of posting I had some major issues with the stuff running the site and I had to move hosts. If you’re a registered user of the site, you’ll have to re-register to comment. But everything else should be working within reason. If not, email me.

Making Comments

Apparently some of you are having trouble making comments. The best way to get your comments easily published is to register here and that login should make it simple for you to comment without the comment being held, etc. I’m getting way too much spam for me to leave the system wide open. Post a comment here with your issues.

Comments

The site has been hit by a lot of comment spam in the last couple of days. If you log in with the site’s own system to post a message or with OpenID, Typekey, etc. your message will go live immediately without me having to approve it.

When Blogs Disappear

I was also taken down by the denial of service attack that took out Instapundit and a bunch of other blogs…

Maintenance

As you may have noticed recently things have been going haywire on the backend. I’m going to be doing some fiddling under the hood, and attempt to keep all my posts (1,583) and the 31,837 comments (mostly Frank) I’ve had since I switched to Wordpress intact. Pray.

Update: Everything appears to have gone okay, amazingly.

OliverWillis.Com, Popular With Republicans

Hotline did a poll of Republicans and asked them which blogs they read regularly. They didn’t give them a list, but solicited names.

1% of them (page 14) said “Oliver Willis”.

Crazy.

Gimme Links

As part of my duty to help the progressive blogosphere get smarter, I’ve asked you to send me links. Not just links on an issue, but links on a regular basis. The right-wingosphere thrives on links but the progressive blogosphere is too stingy with them and way too insular for its long-term viablitiy. I don’t get enough emails with people saying “check this out”.

So start doing that. Send me emails and send them to other bloggers.

I changed the software running the Forums because it wasn’t playing nice with Wordpress. Please feel free to post, it ain’t going away…

New Forums @ OW

I’ve set up some new forums where folks can chat, exchange links, etc. I’ve started a new thread: Do You Hate The Suburbs/Exurbs?
