Security vs. Functionality

April 6th, 2005 · No Comments

I’ve been trying to decide whether or not to implement some “security” measures in Chromium Blog Project. The three that are causing me the most grief in terms of a decision are:

  • Allowing HTML in Posts
  • Allowing Anonymous comments/responses
  • Putting some sort of image in to restrict automated account creation & logins

Right now, I’m coming down on the side of putting in place an HTML editing tool like FCKEditor for the Post/Comment editor. This would allow full formatting, and I could strip out

script tags and the like… If anyone has any thoughts on the Security v. Functionality debate, I’d love to hear them…

…back to the vortex…
