It’s time for some non-philatelic babbling (meaning if you’re interest ONLY about the stamps, you may skip this specific post)…

I just upgraded the blog platform to latest and boldest edition of WordPress (2.8.3). Though the upgrade seemed to went smooth and everything appears to function normally, there is always a possibility that something went/is broken with the update process. So please, If you notice any misbehaviour within the blog, please leave a comment.

The “antispam”-feature (where you have to click the image that is NOT a stamp to add a comment) seems to function more than well. The number of junk comments has dropped from over 100 comments a day to 1-2 comments a day.. I admit, that I was somewhat worried that the number of real comments might drop down as readers feel akward with the “IQ test”. But luckily You all have proofed me wrong… And yes, I know. It’s boring to see the same Finnish stamps rotating time and again. I’ll try to add new images within couple of weeks.

Other news… I have a new FaceBook address…. It’s http://www.facebook.com/stampcollector/ … I was more than happy to receive this new “short address” as it is very easy to remember… Some have asked me (privately) if I will be on Twitter. The answer is (for the time being) a simple no.

That’s all folks!

    Discovered your blog through “The Stamp Collecting Round-Up” blog and have given it the honor of a bookmark. Look for a postcard from me soon.

    This was a very useful post for me, as I had failed the spam test a few days ago. The comment I had wanted to post is mute, as one of your other readers has already made the same comment.

    Best wishes from one of your newer and more mentally challenged readers. :)

    Hi Carol,

    and wellcome aboard. The more stamp collectors read this site, the happier it will get :)

    Your postcard had landed my mailbox on friday. It was very nice looking (even though it was slightly hit by international/automated mail handling). Thank you.

    best,
    -keijo-
