2 things…

- Apparently there is a loophole in the do-not-call list… I was informed by a research group who called me yesterday that they had every right to call me because they randomly generated my number and called it. I was tempted to ask for her home number so I could "randomly generate" it and call her. Here's the deal, no matter how you dial a number, from a phonebook, throwing grapes at the numbers to see who you dial… If a number is on the do-not-call list.. You have no right to call a private number!
- Anybody notice the number of spam comments I get has gone down to maybe 2 a week? REASON: akismet
Akismet could be the most amazing addition to my blog since I started blogging. It sends every comment to their servers to be analyzed and will not return it to me if it is a confirmed spammer. If it is a new spammer, it will put it into a queue for me to label as spam or not. I was getting about 40 spam comments a day for the last month and has been so very annoying to manage.. Another reason why you should blog on WordPress software!!!
I have been blogging for a while now, and up until about a month ago I wasn't having any spam problems. In the past month though I have probably had 50+ spam comments…not sure why or how it started….sure is frusterating though! 6 in the past half hour!! they seem to be escalating!
you'd better signup for Akismet!!
