I have seen the topic make the Digg frontpage and I was wondering why it exactly did make it. A little bit of common sense which every webmaster should have is all that is needed to know what this new spam preparation comments are all about.

If you do run a website you might have come upon comments that are posted that contain one sentence saying something unrelated but positive about the website or webmaster. Those comments can be clearly identified as spam because they do not add to the discussion or article in any way.

This one is for those of you, who have a website and would like to display the contents of a RSS feed on that website. It does not really matter if you want to display your own feeds on a different part of your blog or feeds from other websites. FeedFlash is a nice service that takes feed urls and places them in a nice looking and scrollable widget that can be embedded into websites.

My friend Everton from Connected Internet told me about his guest author project which is running great and suggested that I should also try and find some guest authors who would like to contribute to my blog regularly. His advices are great most of the time and I have decided to give it another try and look for some guest authors who will write articles for ghacks. Regularly does not mean that you have to post every day but at least once a week would be fine.

There are many ways to ban a website from a network. You can ban its domain name, the IP address where it is hosted, or through a keyword check might check the content in real time and decide not to display it. This makes it extremely hard to show how to bypass the ban and access the website that you want to access. It is however still usual to only ban the domain name – the url – of a website which leaves us some outs to access it without using proxies and the like.

I’m currently using a translator plugin that uses the Google translator to translate my articles from English to other languages. This is however not a perfect solution and it occurred to me that it would be much better if someone proficient in English and a second language would translate my articles to make them available to wider audience.

I’m therefor looking for translators that would like to translate my English articles. I’m especially looking for translators for the following languages: Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, German and French. Just let me know if you want to translate it into another language, I might be interested as well. I’m not able to pay you directly for the work but you will receive 50% of Adsense revenue that the translated pages generate.
