Thanks to Lindsay for the quick notification of the highly inappropriate content in the guestbook. Ever since I created the guestbook, I would check it daily to ensure no one was submitting content that shouldn’t be there. I had to delete content at a minimum of once per week because of everything from:
- 419 scams
- People trying to improve their search PageRank
- People leaving links to gambling and adult content
Over a period of time I was forced to slowly introduce more and more “security”. First it was a masking of email addresses. Then it was a notification system of review. Finally, I’ve had to lock it down to only show submissions AFTER they meet approval. This means a slight delay in your submission showing up if you sign the guestbook, but it also ensures that the guestbook submissions are clean. Thanks Lindsay. Even if I might disagree with some of your submissions, I’ll let those through the gates. 🙂
Well the snow if finally beginning to melt and Spring showing its colors. Finally. I have that itch to take my bike out on the open road. I think even Heidi wants on back this time. We’ve also begun after eight months to finally finish some of our house and I’m really excited. We hung the beautiful text that we received at our wedding from Revelation 1 and several other pictures. Curtains are on the way and its all reason to … Smile!
