Another Wordpress Blog

• New! User can delay dofollow some number of days. Default is zero, and that’s what I plan to use. This was added to fulfill a request.
• New! Problem related to a call to a function that did not exist in PHP 4 is fixed. This is provided to fulfill a request.
• New! You can skip the do follow for a particular name. I use this on my name both to save CPU and to minimize the risk that Google might think I am Google bombing to gain rank on the mega-important word .
• Do follow url in “name” after a specified number comments from a particular visitor: Blogger can specify the number “N” in a range.
• Do follow urls left in comments after a specified number of comments by a visitor.
• No follow “names” with too many characters. Number of characters specified by blogger.
• No follow all comments left more than 14 days after a blogger stops blogging entirely. This prevents your blog from becoming a link farm if you get busy, hit by a car or whatnot. (The superstitious know doing this will actually prevent you from being hit by a car.)

I also made a few invisible changes to further reduce the cpu. These are technical things that have to do with when and how the database is called. Note: This program already calls the database less than 1/4 as often as the original Linky Love.

Future Plans

I am looking into a few other issues to see if there are other ways I can optimize the plugin just in case we discover the plugin is cpu or memory intensive at blogs that contain many, many comments in the database and/or are get lots of comments.

I will be developing an comments review interface that simplifies catch and delete old comment spam that may have slipped through in the past. In particular, I what I have nick-named “Daniel” spam. That is spam that sort of looks innocent the first time you see it, but turns out to contain the same phrase over and over.

Summary

Download. Upload to your plugin directory. Activate. Select your settings. Tell people about it.

Finally, leave me comments and trackbacks. And remember: I use this plugin. So, if you leave several comments, you’ll be dofollowed too!

PS: Oh, and note to those who linked me before Wednesday. I apologize. At first, I didn’t know I had problems receiving trackbacks. Later I knew, but didn’t know how to fix it. My trackback issues are now fixed.
