I’ve got the blog set up to moderate certain comments. Nothing fancy, just hold anything that has more than a certain number of links in it. Well last night some spam bot swung through and dropped four spam comments in a matter of seconds. Does that mean I am now worthy of their attention? Or are they just now noticing me over here?
So now I need to be a little tougher when it comes to spam… I activated the Akismet plugin for the site.
In other housekeeping news, I plan to get the CommentLuv plugin installed at some point this weekend. It always makes me smile when I see it on other people’s sites, and I want it here.
I hope you guys don’t mind. 😉
Why, no, I don’t mind. What did you say it was for? To show you are looking for love? Just askin’…
Yummy Biscuits’s last blog post..Arafat Sighting
Not looking for love, Yummy… just spreading it around a little. And I know you’re the Evil Twin, so I’m watching you. heh heh heh
I put that plugin up not but a few days ago because I saw it on someones site. I had it installed before but never noticed the last comments post portion of it, or would never have removed it. I like it!
Blue Licorice’s last blog post..What’s Here
Hi Blue… thanks for coming by! I like the plugin because I can see that Yummy Biscuits hasn’t up dated his site since my last visit, but that you have! (Those tail light guards are a very clever idea!)
I have found that Askimet takes care of most spam comments, though last week several did make it through. I also moderate all first time commentators. Your new site looks great btw. Hope you are happy you switched.

Hi Alan! I’m totally thrilled that I moved. It took about two days to get used to the WordPress interface… now I’m hooked completely. And your site’s looking neat and spiffy!
