Spam attack
Finally, I think I've figured out how to stop the freakin' spam on my blog. I've been poking through how it all works, and I still don't understand all of it. But I think I have properly enabled MT-Blacklist to help fight spam in comments and trackbacks. I really hope this works because I am utterly tired of the amount of spam I get here, and it turns me off from blogging in general.
Any luck figuring out why the "Chicago" bit works for Brandon & Geoff but not this one? That's the weird part.

I turned them off since I never really had any trackbacks to begin with. That and changing the name of the comment post form pretty much dropped my spam to zero.
Spammers are persistent, but they're incredibly dumb.
