We have installed Spam Karma 2 for users in the plugins section of your site, as well as Bad Behaviour. Both these plugins will help in fighting ‘comment spam’

You are advised to switch these on in your blogs, to help avoid those nasty spam bots from posting a lot of garbage.

Photo Galleries have been added, and you can also see your usage of uploads from the users Dashboard now, initially we have set this to 10meg a user, but will be raising this as needed.

The main menu to manage the Photo Gallery is in :

Manage -> Photo Gallery

You can set where you show the gallery. The default is blogurl/?p=gallery but it can be changed, for example to /gallery or /photos. Other options can also be set. Once saved, the Photo Gallery is activated.

To add an album, go back to Manage ->Photo Gallery.

You can add albums first, then upload photos in them.

You may notice now you can add links to video on YouTube and Google Video amongst others, as well as link to an FLV (flash video) file on another server. There’s an icon on the ‘write post’ page for this, and you can see it in action here

Welcome to lurecaster.com, a blogging service for the fisher-folk.

Blogs allow you to keep an online journal of your fishing, in a more personalised way. And we hope that the ongoing improvements to the service should see a great number of lure casters ( ok .. and those that use bait ) have the ability to keep a running journal and point of entry for themselves on the internet.

You may want to just use the site to categorise your successes, tagging type of lure, weather and water turbidity. You may want to post and comment on interesting news and events from around the web. The choice is yours.

Oh, and while your at it .. why not join our GreenFish mailing list? here you can discuss via email Australias greatest sport, hunting our natives.

A big thanks to all the catch and release cod-masters on tacklebox.com.au and murraymonsters.com for this site existing.

catch and release,

The LureCaster Team
