Today my old wordpress 1.5.x got hacked again and this website displayed lovely ads for the usual crap. So I finallly took some time to do the upgrade as it seems there is no support for older wordpress releases. The upgrade wasn’t much work but I had some hardcoded things (links and stuff) in the previous website so I had to integrate these in the new theme.

I’ll clean some of the remaining mess up tomorrow. It’s a bit late here.

Thanks go to Alexander for pointing out that the site got hacked. I don’t look at the website that often and I hadn’t noticed

One of the good things of the old version is that I had modified the install to ask for an additional field when posting comment… now I am back to the good old days and I am getting 20 spam comments per hour in my e-mail. Sigh.

Update: Recaptcha solved this for me (I noticed askismet was bundled with Wordpress 2.x now but I still think recaptcha is an interesting use of captchas.
