White Winter Hymnal music video

July 28th, 2008


White Winter Hymnal from Grandchildren on Vimeo.

I know I’ll sound like a total fangirl, but I love this song, and I love the wistful and uplifting animation that was made for it and complements it so beautifully.

The White Winter Hymnal music video for Fleet Foxes, was directed by Sean Pecknold, whose brother, Robin Pecknold, provides lead vocals and guitar for the band.

Recovering a comment marked as spam in Wordpress

July 21st, 2008

This guide is for self-hosted Wordpress users and refers to Wordpress version 2.6.

The current version of Wordpress does not provide a mechanism for retrieving comments accidentally marked as spam. This can be circumvented with the Akismet plugin.

Akismet is a Wordpress plugin that evaluates and deals with regular spam comments as well as trackback spam.

If a comment matches up with spam in their database, Akismet dispatches it swiftly, saving you the hassle of moderating several spam comments on a daily basis.

As an added bonus, Akismet allows you to view caught (or marked) spam and retrieve it from the database.
