Op-For.com is a real deal military blog, written by VMI grads on active duty, reserves and retired. They’ve got a bit of John Wayne to them, and like to bring the bat and ball to the party.
The site was started many moons ago, back before anybody knew what a blog was. It moved to Movable Type back in April 2006 and quickly earned honors for great content and great spammability.
I migrated the Op-For from Movable Type to WordPress and the Genesis theme framework in January 2011. I really like the built-in author archives provided by Genesis and the Prose child theme.
Comment spam has been halted by brute force use of IP blocking, Akismet, Bad Behavior and a checkbox. I’m still evaluating SEO and other gains from the migration but the site has been running without problems and steadily gaining traffic.
