Exponential Growth of Spam Comment Numbers
As my site has drawn more readership lately, it has also drawn a great deal more SPAM comments. These comments are mostly crap, some are funny, but it is annoying too (since I have to at least look at the SPAM list to see if AKISMET has set some genuine comment as a SPAM). The [...]
Dueling Plug Ins
Interesting problem has arisen with two of the plug ins I run on my Canadian Personal Finance site. I added the commentluvplug in a while ago, where commenters are invited to include a link to one of their posts on their site. I like this plug in as it is kind of cute, and the [...]

- Comments Off
Comment relish turned out to be a bit of a non-helpful plug in, as it continued to send thank you e-mails to folks it had already thanked, and I actually got a couple of complaints about it, so I have removed it from the Finance Site. I have added Comment Luv to the systems to [...]
