Well, they are disabled at the moment due to a problem with the RSS feed. After having it brought to my attention a few days ago, I finally had a chance to have a look and it seems that the combination of plugins I have all work except the nextgen gallery, so I’ll be messing around with gallery plugins for a little bit and update the posts when I get it fixed. Lucking there are only a small number that reference galleries.
In other news, assuming you have a modern browser, you can log in with SSL. Your browser needs to support SNI, but I suspect most people don’t even bother logging in. I need to see if I can force SSL based registration. That might defeat the handful of spam users I get every day.
