Okay, so I bought another domain…again! I already told myself that I have enough domains already. But what can I do? I am a certified domainaholic. So I now have more than 20 sites!
But this one just got me interested. This is going to be about cars. The name of the website is New Cars, Used Cars.
Honestly, I don’t know anymore how I am going to maintain all my sites. hahaha Just an addict you know. I bought it a couple of weeks ago from GoDaddy but up until now, I have not yet set it up. Tsk tsk. But I will have to because I really like it.
I am not very good in cars but I kind of like writing about them. So well, I hope I can maintain this and maybe eventually become an expert in cars. LOL
Handle Spam with G.A.S.P.

Spam is a real problem to WordPress bloggers, especially those who have their own domain names and hosting. There are many ways to control spam, such as installing Akismet and subjecting all comments for approval, it can sometimes be tedious checking spam against valid comments.
Now, there is a new WordPress plugin call G.A.S.P, which is short for Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin. And it will really make you gasp! You see, most of the spams that we get are just bots that leave random messages in the comment box. Somehow, they pass the Akismet screening and they could sometimes infiltrate your blogs and flood you with hundreds of spam comments each day.
But with G.A.S.P, spam comments disappear as soon as you activate the plugin. With this feature in your blog, a real person will have to click a box to confirm that he is not a bot or a spammer. And since bots cannot do that, they can be be readily eradicated. Of course, there will still be human spammers, but at least, these will be few and far between.
You can also activate their optional spam detection called the “Heuristics”, which will consider comments with lots of links as spam.
This plugin has been a really great help to many WordPress bloggers who are so troubled with spam.
