The Mike Abundo Effect

As Alodia Gosiengfiao and Shoko Nakagawa have proven, blogging is good for your modeling career. That’s why these girls are on the right track.

Check out UrFame, a group of Filipina models blogging on WordPress and photoblogging on Flickr.

We are a group of models from the Philippines who believe in group communication and whose photographic projects you see here are self-contained.

We photograph each other and do our own hairstyles and make-up applications. We use the principle of group consensus to decide what kinds of photographic styles we use, and about details of the individual photographs we take and display.

Self-published babes rock. They should videoblog on YouTube, too. They could even become Filipino YouTube Directors.

A new piece of comment spam making the rounds breaks popular WordPress plugin Akismet, by blocking access to the Akismet spam queue.

Symptom: Your Akismet spam queue displays nothing but the number 35.

Solution: Go into phpMyAdmin from your hosting control panel and browse wp_comments. Find and delete entries from “Bush” using email address “main@yandex.com” and URL “http://google.com”, like so:

Once you’ve deleted all such entries, your Akismet spam queue should be accessible again.

Spam that punishes anyone who filters it. Vicious.
