Do you have the problem of thousands of spam comments building up on your Drupal site? Ok, the best solution is to check it regularly and delete the unwanted comments, and just leaving the appropriate ones. However, what if you forget to look at your comments for a few days, if you go on holiday for a week and don’t check your blog or your site has been attacked? You can delete these comments manually but this is time consuming (Drupal admin interface only shows you a list of 25 items). This method will allow you to delete all the unapproved comments and leaves the approved ones intact.

We are going to do it via SQL snippets which I've tested on Drupal 7 and should work for Drupal 6 as well (in my case I have a content type 'quotation'):
There are many ways on how to show your recent tweets in Drupal sites. I am going to show you two methods to achieve this.
A known issue in Drupal 6 where cache_form table isn't cleared when the items are expired. This causes cache_form to grow without an end. Solution?

This issue is fixed in drupal 7.
Voilà !
I finally seized the moment and moved my personal static website into my lovely Drupal :) Also, I migrated my oooold blog from OverBlog to WordPress and then to here to Drupal.
The new site is based on Drupal 7 and as you can see it got a new look and feel as well.
Hmmm, how hard is to be your own client!!
