As I mentioned a few days ago I am being inundated with comment spam. It doesn’t appear on the blog, as it is blocked by a spam filter I installed some time ago. However, it does screw up my statistics, because each spam is counted as a unique visit. The raw numbers unnecessarily boost my ego, after which it is crushed by the reality.
I just installed another plug-in, called Bad Behavior, which allegedly keeps the spam totally at bay. It keeps track of the number of blocked spams at the bottom of the page, in case anyone is curious. I’m hoping it works, and doesn’t inconvenience any real people. If anyone has trouble accessing the comments, please email to me at the link on the upper right hand corner of the homepage and let me know.
