Blog downtime
What you don’t see behind the scenes is the amount of spam signups I have to fight on this blog. Whilst I’m running the latest version of Nucleus (the CMS behind the site), providing I allow people in the configuration to sign up for an account, then I get 100′s of signups a week, no matter what steps I take to prevent them from doing so. Clearly there is a little loophole in Nucleus that allows this, and I don’t like it much, nor after having a look around the modules can I see a solution to this problem.
So I’m going to try to migrate the site to WordPress. Whilst I like Nucleus at the back end (a lot) I think it’s actually lacking some more standard blog features that I’d rather have in the core distro, rather than rely on plugins for. WordPress seems to be a de facto standard amongst my friends (although I did seriously consider using Drupal given how much we rely on it in work), and I guess this will make it my 3rd CMS backend for this site..
