I guess the new word for this scourge is spamments. I was calling it blog spam, but one word is always better than too, unless you're trying to tell someone that you love them.
I haven't posted in over a week, because I have always been too busy with my time online trying to clear out all these spamments, which has taken longer than usual because there have been more than usual and because I am now closing the ability to comment on posts that have received a spamment. After doing this long enough I think almost all of my older posts will be closed to commentary and I will get almost no spamments. Sad, but that is how I am handling it. Now to write about something meaningful about my life.
Posted by David at November 17, 2004 08:54 PMAgh, I just typed up a big long comment and then it closed on me before I could post it, bleh.
Anyways, this is the shorter version:
1. I've had similar issues with my webpage (as recorded here: http://themeyerwire.com/journal/archives/000138.html) and I've since decided just to disable all comments. To disable all comments, ftp into your site and open up "MovableType." there will then be a file named mt-comments.cgi. If you get tired of spam comments, just rename that file (I'd recommend just putting a random letter or number after the file name, like mt-comments1.cgi)
2. Read www.ajandkellie.com when you need some encouragement sometime (I posted about that here: http://themeyerwire.com/journal/archives/000145.html). Aj, a friend of Jordan's, just recently died in a car accident and Kellie is his surviving wife. It's amazing to see how God is at work in her life and just how awesome her relationship with God is, it definitely gives a perspective on the many blessings God has bestowed upon us. The post on my page may explain a little bit more.
3. Call me if you're going to be in Orlando for church tomorrow.
