Do you think this is safe enough to prevent me from spam? I think I should probably create an image, but maybe this is enough? <em>Lupe Fiasco's last blog post..<a href='http://www.lupefiascoblog.com/best-dressed-for-lupe-fiasco/' rel="nofollow">“Best Dressed” for Lupe Fiasco</a></em> As of now I have my contact email listed as email(at)domain.com.

Did you try using that? I remember making some efforts to make it work but it is definitely worth it. <em>Mary Music's last blog post..<a href='http://www.marylandkisociety.org/woodward/' rel="nofollow">Woodward - But Your Kids Are Gonna Love It</a></em> What about captchas?

Right now, the spam is an interesting experiment. I could see it becoming uncontrollable in a bit though.

Renny, Gmail is pretty handy. I actually have three accounts that I signed up for at different times. I used them as filters for while. Only certain messages to certain accounts. But after having Thunderbird crash a few times, I grew tired of tracking down all the accounts afterwards. So now all my Gmail accounts forward to one. All my own email accounts get forwarded to one. Now after a crash, which hasn't been for a long time, I just have two accounts to add. Then I use filters to put emails in folders or in the trash from inside Thunderbird. Mirjam, The Adobe Kuler site http://kuler.adobe.com has some good schemes to pick from. And http://wp23.com shows some examples from sites that have used this theme. I really need to get back there to add some more showcases though. Tim,

I get the emails started and get back to you.

Renny,

Gmail is pretty handy. I actually have three accounts that I signed up for at different times. I used them as filters for while. Only certain messages to certain accounts. But after having Thunderbird crash a few times, I grew tired of tracking down all the accounts afterwards. So now all my Gmail accounts forward to one. All my own email accounts get forwarded to one.

Mirjam,

The Adobe Kuler site http://kuler.adobe.com has some good schemes to pick from. And http://wp23.com shows some examples from sites that have used this theme. I really need to get back there to add some more showcases though.

I was already planning on changing my theme the first of April along with a kick-off contest, but that plan is canceled because of the Big Bang contest the University Kid is running at the moment (the same contest Tim is sponsoring... ) so I thought now was a good a moment as any to go ahead and make the change... If only I could find a colour scheme I can find myself in yet still relatively easy on the eye and different enough from yours... (feeling a long weekend coming up here :D:D) Your More Than Multiple Widget theme seems to be pretty exiting and easy managable but ... Can you believe I only just noticed your free theme today, after all this time that I have been following your blog?! Anyways, have a great weekend and thanks again ;) <em>Mirjam's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/memyselfandiblog/RuXy/~3/246646629/' rel="nofollow">Dilemma of a Blogger Follow Up</a></em> Hey Stephan

Send me an email, and perhaps we can get these 2 in contact with each other.
