BlogCFC 5.9.2.002 Live and Kicking
I've finally upgraded WebDevRef to use BlogCFC 5.9.2.002 so hopefully any commenters or readers who have suffered from the spammers attacking my blog lately will have an extra line of defense.
This was quite painful as a move because I've skipped about 3 major versions and 6 point releases and the database changed drastically. Not to mention the fact that I have a custom design from Jeff that took the best part of today to reintegrate. I hope this is as much use to everyone else as it will be to me.
I've also decided to remove the $5 archive fee - it was a useful experiment and drew some very passionate responses. In 3 months I sold 3 blog entries but it wasn't really about that.
As I've been working for myself this past year I've been struggling to make the time to blog about my CF adventures and justify the time. I felt like I needed a sign that someone thought it was worth the effort I put in. I thought $5 per article would give me that validation but it seems I was a little misguided :-) I've spent a lot of time soul searching and realized that I get a lot of satisfaction just from taking the time to write. So I'm back and ready to blog with some brand spanking new blog features. Thanks to Ray Camden as ever for continuing to lead the development of BlogCFC.
