Spam issues
If you’re running a WordPress blog, you might want to check and make sure your spam blocking plugins are installed and activated. This morning before I left for school, my Akismet blocker indicated less than 400 spam comments blocked. When I got home tonight, I had more than 600. I went ahead and installed Bad Behavior in an attempt to block these automated comment bots from even being able to see my site. Even after the install, the hits just keep on coming.
Even though 99% of these posts never see the light of day on the blog itself, it takes me time and effort to remove them from the control panel. And that’s not to mention the bandwidth they’re eating up. Looks like it’s time to look for a decent word challenge plugin to add to the comments section, as much as I hate to resort to that. If you’ve got any other ideas, let me know.
