I am still finding my way around in the big wide world of the real internet. My old blog was on .Mac, and while this current platform is far more flexible, there are some disadvantages, one of which I discovered today.
I discovered today that spam is not restricted to email-it also infects comments. Today I got two spammed comments. One got through (I’ve since removed it), and one got caught by WordPress. I’m concerned that the number of spam comments might breed here like they do in my in-box a work.
I did a bit of research, and there are ways to deal with it. At the moment, I’m going to just watch the situation, but if it gets out of hand there’s a plug-in that I can install that should take care of the problem, but it requires a commenter to do a bit more work.
On another front, my wife pointed out that I referred to the blogger at Joe Courtney Watch as anonymous, when I myself am now anonymous. At my old site my name was part of the URL, but here it’s not, so I will be putting something up soon identifying myself.
