Blocked from the Blog
14. December 2007 – 18:57 byMore than one week without new postings on this blog. Have I been lazy? Not interested in blogging anymore? Nope, I just could not write any new postings, nor could I edit any. I always got an Internal Server Error.
However the server was running normal, so most likely WordPress or a plugin was causing problems. Well, I am not really tech savvy and couldn’t figure out the problem until a few minutes ago. I didn’t find any unusual configuration settings so I started deactivating plugins and quickly found the cause of the problem: Bad Behavior, which is an anti-spam plugin I am running for quite some time now. So what went wrong? Basically an old blacklist was still running when the plugin author switched servers. An explanation and a new version of the plugin is available, so the problem should be fixed now. I haven’t updated yet, though.
So what does this mean? Updating plugins more regularly? Stop being dumb?

you don’t read my blog anymore, do you?
faced the same problem almost a week ago too and wrote about the plugin back then.

F***! Well, I was attending a meeting from Dec 5-7, was at home for about 4 hours, and left again visiting friends and family over the weekend. So when returning home on Sunday I just scanned feeds and marked the majority read.
Well, poor excuse nevertheless.
