I’ve been pretty lethargic in the blogging department lately. It might seem as if I have completely abandoned my blogs, which is not the case by the way (well, this is a part-proof!). I felt I must post something today because:
- I just upgraded my WordPress installation to the latest version - I would say good reason as any to post a new entry (to check if things still work as they used to
). - I haven’t written anything (except e-mails) for over two weeks!
- Life’s not without incidents here in Ghana to have nothing to say here (if I wanted to that is!)
- Oh, this should have come up first when I think of it now - that I had to extend my stay in Ghana by over a month because I realised (in time) that I couldn’t have finished my fieldwork as planned previously! Now I’m going back to the UK in mid-October instead.

SPAM to feed hungry children? you wish it were true…
I don’t see the need to review what gets caught in Spam Karma or Akismet at all - for rarely genuine comments are wrongly flagged as spam (unless the same visitor tries to write more than 3-4 comments on the same day!). But when I do get notification about the “comments held for moderation”, I have no choice but review those. This morning I got one - comment held for moderation, and the comment went like this:
At least made me smile if nothing else. If each spam email or spam comment on the blogs were to generate even one-hundredth of a penny, and was spent on helping hungry children, I’m sure thousands of children would get decent meal each day! Wishful thinking certainly
