Getting spam through my inbox is tough enough. I wonder what it must be like being a spammer. I know that most people dislike people like used car salesmen and politicians, but spammers make those guys seem downright lovable. :) Thanfully I’ve never been hit by comment spam.

It's a bit easier to find solutions now, but more blogs are getting hit. Rachel has offered to move this blog over to Word Press, if the patching doesn't work, which is really decent of her. I see Word Press has some excellent tools to stop spam. http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2004/09/15/wordpress-comment-spam-stoppage-techniques/ Like your new look btw. Blog on!

My heart skips a beat when I see you posting on comment spam. I wonder what garbage has been dumped on your blog. Glad to see it's a pointer to helpful information and some more thoughts on the subject. My MT crash last month has been a bit of a mixed blessing. All the previous rendered pages are still readable, along with comments already posted. However, no new comments (spam included) can be added, because the database is gone. The switch to WordPress has given me more control over comment spam. Nothing, thus far. Blessings Whew! My heart skips a beat when I see you posting on comment spam.
