There’s a Lot of Spam Out There Apparently

I never really thought that running spam plugins was necessary on a site that doesn’t get too much traffic (maybe one day…). But after I switched to this new theme, I decided to add the Akismet widget to the sidebar to show how many spam comments have been blocked by it.
And, crazy enough as it is, it has blocked over 5000 spam messages on this little blog. That’s pretty incredible considering the traffic this blog usually receives. Goes to show how many automated tools out there are beating up sites with automatic comment posting…
