Spam-a-lam-a-ding-dong
My spam count is nothing compared to most blogs, but considering that my total spam count had been in the 40s about a week ago, I considered it a sharp spike when I discovered how busy my filters are becoming.
Seriously, I’ve suddenly become the target of truckloads of spam. I’ll take it as a sign that my site is getting slightly more popular if it’s being circulated through all the lists out there. Luckily Akismet and SK2 are sniping about 99% of the garbage before it hits the comments section. But I feel deflated somewhat. The traffic that I thought I was receiving is really distorted by the influx of random peddlers and their questionable pharmaceutical wares. So I’ll take it with a grain of salt.
Anyhoo – you may bump into maintenance mode splash pages over the next few days. I’m attempting to finally get sharpened up a bit, and I’m new to this so it’s taking me a while to work out the kinks. Please be patient!
