Finally got some posting time once again, and updated to the newest version of WordPress.
I begin to see what other blogs are dealing with, spam-wise. I’ve had an approximately exponential rise in (moderated) spam comments over the last few weeks, and I expect that 200 a day for a new blog equates to 200 million a day for a popular one. Akismet is wonderful thus far, but I expect if I get anywhere traffic-wise I’ll institute ReCaptcha or one of the more original captchas (a domain in which there are perhaps an infinite number of interesting ideas).
