back in action...

well it's been a quiet week on the blog. i've been on a week's holiday with the family which has been wonderful. made my first ever visit to italy which i loved. we usually go away in the summer but getting dates between us all was proving difficult and we have reached that stage where we are unsure if the boys will keep holidaying with us but if the offer's good enough and we are paying they seem to keep showing up!!! i actually didn't open the laptop for a whole week - yes i know impressive eh?!. i didn't want to advertise that i was away on the blog, twitter, facebook and all that. kind of seems a bit naive or maybe i'm just getting paranoid...

anyway i am straight back into a crazy week. but will endeavour to catch up with my digital self.

i apologise that all that has been on the blog has been a video of jesus with a fan - it wasn't meant to be some kind of statement - it just amused me! i also apologise if you follow the comments (which i suspect most of you don't) that there have been so many spam comments. it's kind of irritating. i really don't like putting a filter on comments as i hate encountering it on other peoples blogs. let me know if you have any bright ideas of what to do about it any typepad users.

so an election has been announced, malcolm maclaren and the polish president have died, i was sad to miss two graces - easter vigil and low, chelsea are in pole position for the premiership and in the fa cup final, yet another debate rages about the emerging church, spring has hopefully sprung and no doubt a million and one other things besides. hope you all had a good easter!

Jonny, in TypePad I have: Settings -> Comments -> Email Notification and have selected "Notify the author of the post when new comments are submitted" so I get an email every time someone posts a comment. This lets me immediately cull out the spam, even on old posts. (And that in turn lets me keep commenting enabled on old posts.)

The email includes (among other things) a link to mark a comment as spam.
