Wordpress Footer Spam

// February 21st, 2009 // No Comments » // CaseySousa.com, Software, Websites

I’ve had a ton of spam links for drugs of various kinds showing up in my header and footer for a long time. I keep deleting them and they keep coming back. They aren’t visible, but they have caused Google to no longer list my site in results even when searching for my specific domain name. I finally hunted down the code that was causing the problem. I don’t claim to know everything about php or WordPress, but maybe my experience will help you.

In my footer.php file, I found the code <?php do_action('get footer'); ?> at the bottom of the file just before the </body>erbium doped fiber amplifier tag. This seemed to be retrieving the spam links in the footer.

I found some help on the WordPress forums, so I guess it’s a known problem.

Gallery Update

// August 18th, 2006 // No Comments » // CaseySousa.com

I just upgraded my gallery to allow you all to upload your own pictures. If you’d like to share some images, all you have to do is register for an account, I’ll activate it, and then you can upload pictures.

Also I’d like you to notice that comments are allowed on almost every area of my website, and I would love to have more discussions about the posts I’ve made, the images in the gallery, and also in the forums. In the gallery, there is a drop-down menu below every photo where you can select “Add Comment”. On this main blog page, there is a link at the bottom of every post that you can click on to view/add comments to that posting. Right now, all the comment links on this main page say “No comments” but I hope that will change soon! I think you all know how to use the forums for comments, so I won’t explain that part.

Enjoy!

Meebo Me

// August 18th, 2006 // 2 Comments » // CaseySousa.com

Did you notice the new little Meebo widget on the right side of the site? That’s a little instant messenger window that you can use to talk to me. I’m not always online, but I am around more often than not, so feel free to drop me a line whenever you’d like.

Update: I had the Meebo Me widget up for about two months, but I never received a single instant message, so I removed it. If you’d like to IM me, email me with your screen name and which service it is (AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, GTalk), and I’ll email you back with mine.

New Website Design/Software

// December 23rd, 2005 // 4 Comments » // CaseySousa.com, Software

Well, I finally decided to make the switch to a new software package for my website. Unfortunately, I didn’t plan very far in advance for the migration from the old to the new, so it’s gonna take a while before I get everything worked out. Until then, thanks for stopping by!
