spam via blog pingbacks and trackbacks
Friday, January 5th, 2007When I flicked th switch to only allow registered users to post comments to this site, I though that the amount of spam I would have to deal with would stop. And, in fact, it has. Its been great not to have to deal scanning through and deleting hundreds of spam comments.
But, now, I’m starting to see pingback and trackback spam instead. Groan. So now I’ve enabled askimet, a wonderful service provided by the folks behind wordpress (the software that manages this site) to help keep this out.
