Are you experiencing this pop up every time you open a website that has a Flash banner, or Flash movie of some type playing? Surely, you have tried to click on Localhost … only to see the popup reappear again. You can enter an IP address in the text input box, but the popup still reappears again. Then after a couple attempts and you select to not connect or ignore, the popup goes away … until the next page you open with another Flash movie playing.
So, why is this happening? It could be a couple reasons. You may not have downloaded and successfully installed the Adobe Flash Player 9, or it may have been a corrupt install. I have Firefox, IE, Chrome and Safari browsers installed and dealt with this perplexing and persistent problem until I went back to the Adobe site and downloaded and installed the browser-specific Adobe Flash Player 9 plugins.
The Plugin that addresses IE browsers and Active X can be downloaded here.
Not long back I wrote a couple posts about SPAM and then started getting more SPAM. I did not have the Askiment plug in installed at that time. The reason I had not installed the plug in was because I did not have a Wordpress API key. I would have already given the Askimet plug in a try, except when I had gone to their site I thought it was only for Wordpress sites that were hosted by Wordpress.com.

I contacted the people at Askimet and found out that all I needed to do was setup an account at Wordpress.com in order to get the API key. It was not required that my Wordpress blog be hosted there, only that I opened a user account. How easy was that? Very easy. Since, I installed the Askimet plug in I have not received any more spam because the plug in works. It has blocked all of them so far.
So if you have a Wordpress blog that is self hosted and you are receiving spam, or want to insure that you do not get a bunch of spam posts, then hopefully the clarification in this post will allow you to get the protection now, rather than thinking it was not available to you.
Here a few weeks ago, I posted a short blog about dealing with spambots and people spamming your forms and blogs. Of course, it did nothing to get rid of those scum. However, it gave me something to use for a YouTube Video… and my first attempt at playing with Adobe Premiere.
Recently, I started writing a blog related to US News, on Today.com. Not only do I get an opportunity to write thought provoking content, it also gives me a chance to create a corresponding graphic each day with my post. Rather than simply posting my rants, raves and insight, this provides an outlet or forum to shed some light on my graphic design capability, too.
