Spammers
Filed Under Internet on October 5, 2007

My site has been down the last two days because I got hit with a mad amount of spam. It filled up my webmail account (over 1200 emails) so of course it over-filled my disk space usage, so my site wouldn’t show up.
I also had 39 comments in moderation, sadly all spam (I’m not that popular).
I’m now off on a hunt for a wordpress plugin to stop my comment spamming issue. If you can recommend any, please let me know. :)

You may note in my photo’s above I have a photo of me in a bra. I have not suddenly decided to show off my personal parts of my body. The photo was taken for the annual Boobie-Thon for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Go submit yours or donate!

I also took a picture of the Auckland Skytower last night as it is pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month.

I will post a better entry later, this one is dull. Except that it includes boobs.

I’m using the same two hacks on multiple blogs and they’re all working out pretty well for me. The first is the “Can you pass math?” one that you’re using, the second is the Akismet hack that comes by default with most Wordpress versions (there is one that you can download if you don’t have it) but you get a free API key from Wordpress.com, just sign up for a free blog through them, then paste it into the hack activation notification and you’re set to go.

Thanks to the Akismet hack I’ve been protected against about 50,000 spam comments from getting through. That’s over a span of three blogs - you can use the same key for as many blogs as you please (as long as you’re the owner of them, naturally).

Good Luck!
