I was away for the weekend. Just before I had left, I had several emails that comments were left on this bLog, and they were comment spam. When I got home, my inbox was flooded with emails from this automated comment spam. While these are not posted, they’re a pain to moderate. Not that it’s difficult to go into the site admin and mark them all at one shot as “spam” and click submit … It’s just a pain that I have to act on something that is a waste of both of our times … The spammer in that his goal of having his URI spread all over the place in hopes of spiders giving him the top 10 in the search engines will never have his comments posted on my bLog … and a waste of my time having to remove them from my comment queue … I have altered the way comments are handled in hopes that this will stop the spammers in their tracks … If you have any issues with posting a comment, please let me know immediately … I think it’s pretty secure though … Because this required some software updates, this server is now at the latest and greatest PHP release …
