Development

We have reached an agreement with Hendrickson Software Components, the company that has registered the name "SpamX" as a trademark:

We are going to change the display name of the plugin to Spam-X (with the hyphen) but keep the internal name as it is (so as not to break compatibility and complicate updates). We've also taken a few measures to keep the plugin's search engine ranking low so as not to confuse prospective buyers looking for the other SpamX product.

There will be an update of Geeklog's Spam-X plugin in the near future, that will - in addition to the cosmetic name change - also include new and updated modules for more effective blocking of comment spam.

I have just started to write an article about Geeklog at Wikipedia.org.

Without wanting to replace anything that is to be found on this site here, I think it is important to make Geeklog more known and to spread the word.

I invite everyone developing/contributing to geeklog to post a link to their site just as I did and to extend the article to give readers an impressive text about this impressive software! Let us tell the world that this is the greatest software for Weblog they can find by simply naming features, developers, plugins and everything else that is a part of it!

Hey folks,

I've written my first 'premium' plugin. i.e you have to buy it. I only decided to do that since it is a plugin that can make you money, so I figure if it makes you a bit, it might as well make me a bit, too.

The plugin is simply called 'books', and it allows you to manage a library of books from your website, that automatically link through to that book on any number of online retailers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The site admin can enter as many online retailers as desired, as well as their own affiliate ID for each site in which case books purchased by clicking-though automatically get credited.

Users can add books, and rate the books that are already in the system.

I've got a fair bit more in mind to spice it up. Right now i'm looking for a few alpha users who can test it for free if they like. Then I'll spruce it up based on their feedback, and finally release it.

If interested in Alpha testing, send me email with details about your site.

Try out the plugin on my website, but please only add books on beer and brewing.
