wp-openid doesn’t work with Wordpress 2.5

Christian Decker wrote this mid-afternoon:
Apparently the OpenID plugin for Wordpress is incompatible with version 2.5 of Wordpress. As much as I like OpenID I’m forced to disable it until there is a compatible version. I’m sorry for all my readers and commenters that use OpenID on this blog and I’m looking forward to when I’ll reactivate it :P

Akismet back, full throttle

Christian Decker wrote this in the wee hours:
After ranting against Akismet some days ago, and receiving many suggestions about how to solve the problem, I got the spam under control (at least I hope so…). The trick was to use the standard option in Wordpress to blacklist some words. So I drew up a short list of words that kept popping up in the spam comments and, voila, suddenly I have clean comments again. Thanks to everybody suggesting how to get rid of the spam, I might write a small post in the future about all these solutions as there are quite a few interesting among them :D
