In the past few days, I’ve started getting a few spam comments here on my blog. I guess that means I’ve began getting a (tiny) bit of popularity with the spambot punks. I’m not overly worried about it though. Akismet has done a wonderful job thus far nabbing all of them. When I blogged before, I had a bucketload of spam comments every day. Akismet did a nice job catching those, too. (Kind of odd that I had so many back then, though – my blog wasn’t overly popular.)
But, on the other hand, it’s not like it’s costing spammers much to pollute the internet with their junk. Tossing bots at one more site is 1.) automated and 2.) virtually free.
Ah well. Akismet rocks. WordPress.com rocks.
I’m a happy camper.
So how did your blog become so popular? I’m curious, because the traffic to my site is pretty light.
Maybe I should count my blessings if increased traffic will mean I’ll have to deal with spammers. Typepad has some security features for the comments section, so I suppose if my blog became as popular as yours I could bump up the commenter’s requirements. But anyway, glad you like WordPress. I might consider them if Typepad doesn’t suit me after a while.
Ah, it’s not really that popular. It was mostly a joke. Popular blogs are usually hammered around the clock back spam.
I tried TypePad in the past. I liked it alright, but I honestly like WordPress.com more. The fact that WordPress.com is free is one of the main bonuses.
Nice Post.
That was well said. Always appreciate your indepth views. Keep up the great work!
