Themeless Randoms

After being pretty much spam free since starting this back in April, the last few days have seen an absolute onslaught of spam comments. I had been manually marking them as spam, but I just realized that there is something called Akismet that is included with Wordpress, that supposedly crushes spam before you have to deal with it. I’ve activated it now, and I’ll see how well it works.

Its only Tuesday, but so far this week I’ve had to kill 233 spam comments after they disturbed my inbox. Lucky for me that I realize that the electrician that keeps spamming, and all of those sites from Russia saying “You really should think about your comment” are just trying to get past “must have one comment approved before automatic approval” in the spam filter… oh I’m so smart… and now that I have a plugin doing the dirty work for me, I’m sooooooooooo much smarter! Good luck thwarting me now, spammers!
