I’m getting comment spammed. Just after taking over the “Australian wildlife and nude artist” Eric Shepherd for the top “Eric Shepherd” ranking in Google (no, I’m not going to link to him…), I have had more comment spams than actual comments. [UPDATE: that was short-lived. I’m back in second place.]

Now that I have (some) more time on my hands, I think it’s time to leave MovableType and move on to WordPress. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for awhile (if I’m going to wrap my mind around scripting, I think I’ll have an easier time understanding PHP than Perl anyway).

I know in the end this won’t solve all comment spam problems, but it might be a step in the right direction. Soon I’ll have to implement a server-generated math problem (”What is 2+2?”) that has to be answered before a comment is accepted.

Meanwhile, if any of you need anything enlarged, I’ve got some people you can talk to…
