I converted to WordPress some time last year, since Blogger killed my ability to edit there and post on my personal site. In the meantime, I have two annoyances: One, the spammers to this blog are unrelenting. You don’t see any of the spam comments, but I get an email for each one (it could be a real comment) and have to whack about 25 spam messages a week.
Two, while it looks like it’s possible to add comments to my old blog entries, they really just disappear into a bit bucket somewhere. I might dig around and fix the page so it no longer supports typing in the comments, but in the meantime I’ve had two comments that I wanted to respond to, and have felt guilty because I can’t do so easily.
Perhaps my responses will end up as blog entries.
Comments
Have you installed the WordPress Akismet plugin? It’s really good at automatically spotting the spam comments and trashing them, without you having to look at them (already blocked thousands of spam comments on my site).
Thanks Aviv! I thought I’d already had a spam plugin here. Maybe not–will check.
