Big Repetitive Blog = A Grinding Halt
Well yesterday seemed all good. Bluebloomer was busy scanning blogs so I took a rest, came back and trouble. The database was locked, my memory usage was through the roof, I had emails from my web host. Headache!
So I tried to find out what was going wrong. Turns out I had been a bit naive about things. This particular blog entry http://anshumanpandey.wordpress.com/2009/05/27/top-ten-war-machines/ was evil. It had a high word count, but that was ok. The evil part was the entire blog entry was duplicated inside a hidden layer. Because Bluebloomer does phrase matching this caused all sorts of trouble.
Really it’s my own fault though. I should have been a bit more careful. Things are now sorted, a new filter is in place to stop rogue blogs getting through and there was a silver lining as I found and fixed a few other bugs along the way.
Hopefully things will be ok now and lots of new blogs will start appearing on the site.
Hi there. I dont know exactly the problem with the post? Is it serious?

It’s no problem now thanks. The system has now filtered it out.
Yeah the post looks pretty normal when you load it in the browser. It just happened to cause a problem for the Bluebloomer system.
All good. Infact its an interesting blog to be honest!
