Little work has been done on the backend of the Tux Reports Network lately. Fortunately summer has arrived, providing time to spend on the backend of the site.
LPH has been busy learning PHP and developing the XenWord plugin. Others have been making changes in their personal lives: two are moving on to graduate school, both moving to new states and cities. Bob continues to publish about ALV and we are hoping Paul will start adding movie reviews to a new section on the site. He loves watching movies!
One of the concerns over the years has been addressing the bylines. We had the plugin Co-Authors installed but never did the theme edits to show the multiple authors. Now that we’ve installed bylines then we can show who is really behind each article.
The plugin Stop Spammers was installed four days ago. It’s blocked over 40,000 spam registrations since installation. This is an amazing plugin. The WP Security plugin has been online for weeks and has allowed us to monitor bots and bad pages. We simply need to fix things as the site moves forward.
