First, we need to understand what a splog is. Essentially, it is nothing more than a bot that creates “junk” blogs and embeds links to the splogger’s main site, usually for no other reason than to increase its page rank through trackbacks. They usually seek out the wp-signup.php page that is present in every default WPMU installation. One could simply change the name of the file to something like registration.php and make corresponding changes to all of the references to wp-signup.php in all of the themes used. While effective, this was not the best course of action for me, considering all of the themes used on my blogs. Instead, I dug a little deeper and found some interesting info.

Since I’ve been playing around with user management a lot lately, I thought I’d share a simple technique I picked up. This technique will allow you to easily add new user profile fields that your blog’s users can use to input more information about themselves.

I recently had been working in a site with a CMS powered by WordPress and was asked to list nicely all the full names and emails of all the active users. As I didn’t found a function/solution out of the box thought of sharing it with you.

Today, I present to you: a WordPressmini loop to output the author description info in any place among your template files (in the sidebar for instance).
