Disques gives away your email address. Go to pipl dot com and search your own email adresses. The address you gave Disqus will emerge. And spambots will harvest it from there.

Does not work for me, the new generated rules does not override the old ones.

As example :

i got myblog.com/new-model-toilet-seat but if a want to get
myblog.com/mycustomurl/new-model-toilet-seat it redirects me directly to myblog.com/new-model-toilet-seat , wich had a diferent content that myblog.com/mycustomurl/new-model-toilet-seat

Oops! It didn’t escape my tags. I meant, better >header< than >div id=”header”<:

Then an > address< block within an hcard.

Using HTML5 now has several advantages: an anchor can link directly to, say, , rather than . Much quicker and easier to type, and easier to find when looking through code.
I personally love the idea of defining an block within an hcard- works great, and so much cleaner code. I have my hcard stored as an external xml file, styled through xsl to an hcard, which can then be downloaded as a vcard. It also has an xslfo, and I am working on an xsd for an organisation. Then all I have to do is call the relevant function via my PHP class (or whatever) to parse it as required. Even with this level of complexity, it still produces very clean code.

I am sure that semantic tags are used by some search engines already (can’t remember where I read that), and with microformats, rdf and the like, it is only going to grow. Better to make use of all the tools you can to increase your hitrate.

Lastly, less typing= less tired hands, and faster load times for pages.

I had to delete from my blog as well, it did horrible things to it. Slowed it to a crawl, created errors etc.

Thanks for the tips Simon.

I did test the plugin on a non-vital domain first, but failed to notice the plugin was not recently updated.

I would have been extremely wary about installing a plugin that hasn’t been updated since September 2007! WordPress has changed a hell of a lot since then…

When I’m investigating a new plugin (especially one that is providing absolutely critical functionality), I always check how recently the plugin was updated, how active the author is, I check out comments & answers on the support forum, etc.

I then search for a key phrase (e.g. “cache”) on wordpress.org/extend/plugins – you see below each result the date the plugin was updated, number of downloads and user ratings – all very helpful stuff.
