8 Ways to Sunday

Some overdue enhancements are underway at 8WTS. Because of problems with spam, I’ve removed my e-mail address from this site and put up a contact form instead. This should prevent my address from getting nabbed by any more e-mail harvesting spambots. The contact form is powered by Christopher Heng’s wizard-generated PHP Feedback Form — a very handy site tool that I’d recommend to anyone. You can access the form by clicking the “Contact” link under the “Navigate” header in the sidebar.

Also new is a list of referrers where you can see how people wind up at this site. This is partly intended as a small way to thank those that link to my site, and partly as a way to amuse oneself by looking at the weird search terms that bring people here (click “queries” at the top of the page). No doozies yet, but it’s only been running since last night. The referrer list is powered by Dean Allen’s Refer 2.1. You can access it by clicking on the “Referrers” link under the “Navigate” header in the sidebar. Publicly-accessible referrer logging has been removed due to excessive referrer spamming.

More changes are coming as I get around to it. I’ll be revamping my “About” page to be more than just a rehash of my first post and giving my photoblog its own about page with info on the equipment I use. I also plan to restore the master archive page to working order sometime in the next month or so, since this site desperately needs some kind of working “map” to facilitate quick browsing and help the victims of the occasional 404 error. Once all the basic workings of the site have been fixed and updated, I may address the cosmetic angle with a redesign.

We’ll see how I feel about that once I’m done with all the other work I’ve set out for myself.
