Housecleaning and New Blogger

Curb Cut Learn­ing would like to wel­come the new Coor­di­na­tor of Dis­tance Edu­ca­tion at the Insti­tute for Com­mu­nity Inclu­sion, Alvaro Tobar. Alvaro comes to us from Boston Uni­ver­sity and has some great dis­tance edu­ca­tion experience.

Along with the redesign, I also changed how com­ments are accepted on the site. We have been using the excel­lent MT-Blacklist Plu­gin which does a great job, but we have now added Type­Key authen­ti­ca­tion as well. You can still com­ment with­out sign­ing up for Type­Key, but your com­ment will then be mod­er­ated (sorry). Side­note– if any­one knows how to block all com­ments from the user­name ‘bob’ I would appre­ci­ate it– there is a guy who uses all kinds of dif­fer­ent ip addresses and domains that some­times gets through MT-Blacklist.

    Chris,

    I’m not sure if you can receive this as Alvaro has taken over your duties. It should be easy to block “bob”. Put a con­straint in the form that says “Select * from [table­name] where USERNAME = ‘bob’;”

    Then if true, “access is denied”.
    Else, continue.

    Hope this helps.

    Nick
