Right, those who can access N.O. dot com will have noticed a change in header and a post. Yep, I made it in but am not saying how. I've also found the culprit - right bstds they are - but 'nuff on that.
Plan is to run N.O. here for at least this weekend and see what happens. As stated at the other site, they may still have tricks up their sleeves.
As for comments here, they appear to be working and now for a mini-poll - given that Blogger will only allow two reasonable options -
moderation or
captcha - and given that most of you have run the gamut of both, which is the less bad option? I know you'd prefer me to be back over there but that's not possible just now, maybe for a few days.
Is the nature background here a pain or is it good? Do you prefer plain? Plan is to keep this running parallel and serviced but the WPdotcom site is only an archive now - it's rubbish inside, WPdotcom, clearly not for serious bloggers.
Lastly, many thanks to mine host at N.O., plus haiku, Chuckles, DR, Toodles,
AK Haart, Andy and Rossa's mother at this point of publishing - stalwarts all.
