The upgrades logged me out or would never have noticed. I may log out from time to time to see if I can get a Viz-level word….

Ah. Thanks for pointing that out. I did upgrade the plugin and it over-wrote the mods I did before to add my own words.

The good news is that the latest version puts all the words in their own file so I don’t have to edit the plugin’s php file itself and should mean that the list will survive future upgrades intact.

I can’t remember all the old favourites so I have put in some new ones.

Jane – if you stay logged in you won’t get the anti-spam word: I never do.

Andrew – have added a few Viz-level words for your amusement.

Looking good here. The header image looks swish.

I concur about the anti-spam words. Disappointingly lacking in obscenity atm.

Has all this upgrading changed the range of anti-spam words? They are quite dull at the moment and I haven’t seen any of the old favourites.
I had a rep in today who sells in the Dummies books – he had one on WordPress and I was almost tempted but then realised that it was so much easier just to let you make the changes and ten tell me where I am going wrong!

You could have also thrown in Yazz, ZZ Top, or We Wet Wet.

And then asked if there was an implication that the Alan Parsons Project was more mainstream than the Thompson Twins.

Being of a mathematical bent, you will notice that I hedged my theory by saying only that there was a tendency to a correlation – which is a get out of jail free card.

You music theory is interesting. My mate Brian had a similar theory occur to him – after several pints in the pub – it went like this:
The more mainstram a band, the mode bland it’s music, the closer to the beginning of the alphabet it’s name starts with.
So, you start with Bryan Adams, Boyzone, Crowded house – move on through Genesis, Led Zepellin – past Rush – and end up at The Who, Yes and Zappa.
Then I reminded him of Wham!
