Well, after several months of peace, the spammers have figured out a way aroung the little secret code thing and started placing spam comments on my site. Only two so far, but it’s annoying. I do not maintain a site for the purpose of advertising your product!
\nAnyway, I made some changes to the site in a hopefully not futile attempt to ward them off. Most of them are behind the scenes (renaming the comment script file), but one you’ll notice is that I changed the comment link on the index pages (main page, monthly and category archives) to go to the permalink rather than a pop up comment window. I think this is a change for the better as well as making it hard for spammers to find my comment script.<\/p>\n

\nOn an interesting, but completely unrelated note, the other salguod<\/a> on the net (see this post<\/a>, my 4th!) has his own blog now too called You Must Be Present to Win<\/a>. I gather from his posts that he’s a lawyer. I think I’ll go leave a comment just to make him wonder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
