Okay. So, I finally got around to upgrading Orient Lodge to Drupal 6.2. The migration went fairly well, however the theme got a little messed up and I still need to tweak that. I had to make a few changes to a few blocks, change a little specialized PHP code I had written and so on.

Right now, the OpenID module doesn’t seem to be working right. I’ll try a few more things on that as I have time. The FriendFeed functionality that I added needed a little tweaking, but still seems to work. However, you should be able to add comments in FriendFeed and see them here. Unfortunately, it sometimes takes a little time.

I’ve added Disqus comments. They seem to be working. I haven’t done a lot with Discus, so it will be interesting to see how that works.

The Spam module that I was using for Drupal 4 does not seem to be working for Drupal 6, so I’m going to have to be a little more vigilant than I had been. However, I have added Captcha and we’ll see how well that works.

With Captcha added, I’ve also opened things up for anonymous comments. We’ll see how it goes. I expect people to comment, the way they would comment if they were sitting with me in my living room. If anonymous people cannot respect that, I will turn anonymous comments back off.

I’ve also turned on the Service Links module so you can recommend my blog posts on various sites. The Service Links module supports lots of services. I’ve only turned on the few that I’m most interested. However, if there are other services that you really like, let me know.

With all of that, I never did get back to working on laconi.ca That will have to wait for another day, since now, I need to get offline for a little family time.
