Halle’s Smooooth Words o’ Wisdom

Whereby M. G. Halle Lays it All Out…Silky Style

comment spam bloatatiousness

Comments

Recently I discovered an inordinate number of pings on 3 comment sections of our nearly 2 year old wedding planning blog. Michelle and will be married 2 years this September. I hadn’t touched or thought much about the blog in as many months. Who bothers with a wedding planning blog once betrothed? The blog was mothballed and only recently did it come under comment spam siege. Seems a gaggle of bots zeroed in on 3 posts and within a 4 month period posted almost 100,000 spam comments. The blog ran on Wordpress 1.5 and comment spam protection was minimal. Akismet had yet to arrive.
