A little disheartened
March 2nd, 2008 Posted in Commentary, Technology
I haven’t posted in a week or so, which is the first “break” since the beginning of the year.
I was caught up with the sp*m problem and in the end discovered it was trackback orientated and a new plugin seems to be helping a lot. I’ve re-enabled comments without approval and hope it works out. I really don’t want to discourage comments as I haven’t had that many for a while now. It’s a viscious circle thing. The less you get the less you feel like posting.
I’ll post anyway. You’ll see!

Yes! Keep posting! If we dont comment that often, doesnt mean we dont read you
Cheers Graham, have a great week!

As I noticed you’re using Wordpress, as I do, I recommend you the bundled “Akismet” plugin, which is awesome. You just have to have a Wordpress.com account (free) and then enter the API key they give to you.

Thanks Adrian. I do that on other WP sites that I run but I’ve been using Sp*mkiller here for a long time…
I added a trackback checker and that seems to do the trick.
Thanks for visiting!
