Only spammers read my blog
It’s been forever since I posted anything here. I’m sure anybody who ever read this blog before no longer does now. Alas, that’s not entirely true… now the wretched spammers read my blog. Just last week, I began to get an onslaught of spam comments… make this body part bigger, gamble online, get free stuff… every few minutes. Indeed, I had gotten spam before, but not on that level. I was forced to install Akismet, a free, collaborative WordPress anti-spam tool that learns from its mistakes as people fix them. It caught 7 spam within a day or two after I installed it.
Now the spammers don’t read my blog anymore, either–Akismet has been dry ever since the day after I installed it. Well, there were two spam that didn’t get caught. However, I do still, for some reason, find it annoying that the spammers go away when I protect myself from them.
