I have tried several different RSS readers to assist me in knowing when [...]

For some reason, it dramatically increased in March. Many days, I may have up to 100 spam comments . I have to look at each comment, to make [...]

Researching Hosting Possibilities

The last two months of disruptions, culminated with the Web host shutting down Chiriquí Chatter for a period of time yesterday, has led me to believe I need to start researching other potential hosting options.
Currently, I use HostMDS and they have been reasonable for the price. I am in a shared environment, which means that [...]

Second Day With Chiriquí Chatter Down

This is the second day in a row when CC has suffered a major outage. Sorry you missed us if you dropped by while we were down.
As a reminder, I have the site chiriquichatterstattus.wordpress.com where I record what I know, if anything, about the status of Chiriqui Chatter.
I have also created a Twitter site http://twitter.com/chiriquichatter [...]

Chiriquí Chatter Upgraded to Wordpress 2.8

Not that it matters to anyone but me, but today I upgraded Chiriquí Chatter to the latest version of Wordpress which is 2.8
