Here are some links that I found while working on rebuilding my site from the WP 1.2 to 1.5-beta and I figured anyone else out there might be interested in them:

Site updates
30
Jan
Well, you will notice some “dust flying around” as well as some “cussing and banging” going on here. I’ve decided to upgrade to WP 1.5-beta and it’s a “bigger upgrade” than I thought… but it’s nothing that I can’t work through… 
Anyway, you see that my “design” is different. It’s currently based on Arzel Blue theme I downloaded from his site (Thanks for the help Arzel!!!). It’s going to take me awhile to get my “hands around” the different way WP 1.5 handles the styles and such compared to the 1.2 version I was running. But I’ll get working on it and I can already see some things that I’ll really like about this new version of WP. I’m leaving all of Arzel’s comments and pointers; that is until I can do my rebuild… then I’m going to include him on my “list of people I’ve learned things from” page.
Dealing with information overload

This is another article (Scobleizer: Microsoft Geek Blogger: Dealing with information overload) that I’ve “held on to” waiting to get the time to really review the info. But I’m going to go ahead and post it here and then update it when I get more time.
rodcorp: How we work

I’ve had this article (rodcorp: How we work) flagged in my bloglines for awhile because I wanted to make sure I had time to read it (and the associated links) before I posted it, but I feel I’ve “held on to it” for long enough. I’ll update this post once I get a good review of at least some of the links…
NevOn: Google tag to help prevent comment spam

Jan
This post (NevOn: Google tag to help prevent comment spam) is one of many that I’ve been reading over the past week or so on this subject. And I must say that I’m of “two minds” on this topic. In one way I think “any tool that we can use that can help cut down on comment spam is great” and since so many of the blog software authors/publishers have made it so that this can just be an “option” you select on your blog creation (or post creation) then I think it’s great. But on the other hand I think that anyone who says that this will “stop comment spam” is looking at this with “rose colored glasses”. It’s about as likely to “kill comment spam” as putting up e-mail filters has stopped e-mail spam… but that’s just MHO…
del.isio.us cached plugin…

Also, I’m working with the del.isio.us cached plug-in… I’m having some issues, but I’m sure they are on my end, the plug-in come down fine with the “one-button install” for wp plug-in manager.
