Atom It's been a while since I've been able to blog. I intend to offer a brief explanation for my absence from blogging.
Formula 1 Home was where La Canta Magnfico Blog was born and has been its cradle for four years. However, there has been a growing problem with spamming. It was manageable until one day I suddenly found myself with 500 spam on the most recent blog entry. The problem wouldn't go away and could not be remedied, so I had to find somewhere else to blog.
La Canta Magnfico Blog Wiki is a bit younger, but has previously been able to carry LCMB writings when the blog was unable or perhaps incapable. Sadly, spammers got to that place at about the same time. Just to make it worse, the developers have emailed to say the entire free Deki Wiki farm is being shut down at the end of the year. Perhaps not the greatest place to resettle the blog.
Then came a rather large search for some site that might be suitable. I'd been searching for a while because the spammer issue had been foreseen without success. The list of rejected sites is long: ones that charged for services (plenty of places, including the Cloud offered as a substitute by Deki Wiki - I understand why but it's an expense too many for me), ones that needed hosting (b2direction in particular looked interesting, but hosting is too complicated for me), ones that had ridiculously poor usability (ask Sidepodcast about Wordpress/Alia compatibility... ...or better still, don't) and ones that plain didn't work (Wikidot - still don't understand why).
To cut a long story short, I ended up at Blogbaker. Hopefully to stay.
Thank you in advance for coming to read. The archive will be under retrospective repair for the foreseeable future, but from now on I should have a space that at least allows me to write properly!
