Blogging Spam

Is everybody else getting huge amounts of spam on their blogs?

I got so sick of it that I instaled akismet spam filter late last year (sorry that there is no link, it’s late and I’m tired, and also smell slightly like vomit, read Meegs’ last post to see why).

So how much spam has it blocked..

2659

And only let about three or four through, which got caught in moderation. Much better than having to manually delete them!

I think I’ve only ever got 1 spam comment on my blog. Sometimes there’s huge advantages to not using open-source software :-)

I seem to get heaps of spam just for a few particular stories. The nice thing about word press is being able to mass delete them!

O.k. I am reading the post below and snickering to myself because I am bad like that but thong just isn’t a word you go throwing around like that. Throwing thongs out like that could get you into trouble. I think flip flop would be a kinder word for the more faint of heart.

You know I am only teasing you but it just made me smile because I am odd like that. lol

o.k. I am going back to read the rest.

You need to come over and read about my ordeal.

Take care xx

:-) I guess that’s just one of those words that has 2 VERY different meanings!

Now, off to your blog for a catch up. You’ve got me intrigued!
