Haven’t been doing much with this site (or much of anything else onliine) for a while and hadn’t noticed the massive increase in spam coming in here. Updated the version of Wordpress that runs the site to the latest and greatest, and noted that there were over 20,000 items listed as spam. Just bulk deleted them all and put it down to the time it had been since I had last worked on the site. This was Sunday, Dec 28th. On Monday the 29th I checked and there were 470 items listed as spam! Deleted them and then worked on the site off and on during the day and deleted another 66. This morning (Tuesday the 30th) checked and there were another 233 items that were spam. Guess we’ve gotten on some botnet’s list of sites.

Mostly this post is to say that if you’ve tried to comment on a post and it hasn’t shown up, please try again. I’m trying to go through the incoming spam to see if any real comments slip in but with the volume that’s showing up tis easy for me to miss some.

Thanks for visiting!
