It’s Saturday morning. Josh must be checking his email, ’cause shortly after I get back from a “power walk” (uh yeah), he pings me:
I’m getting email from your blog
i think i might have not changed over the address when I transferred it
You’ll recall that Josh hosts my blog and awhile back we had some difficulties with a WordPress upgrade (my fault) and so he had to do an entirely new install … and apparently he left his own email address for communications from the blog and he is getting my – you guessed it – comment spam.
Yes, because I haven’t worked at bringing traffic here yet (and apparently Google image search – the source of most of my traffic of late – is still going to the Typepad domain) all I get on this blog is comment spam. Which of course never goes live, but alas bots apparently don’t know when a blog has moderated comments.
“Do you have the plug-in activated to catch spam?” is the next thing he asks me.
Ugh – no, I don’t. I know Askimet is supposed to be a good spam catcher, but I always was stymied by this ‘key’ that it wanted in order to be activated. I tell Josh so. And he offers to do it. “It’s easy,” he says as he is requesting the key to be sent to my email.
“Thanks,” I tell him. “It seems that the older I get, the stupider I get.”
“WordPress,” I muse, “far from opening up new horizons, has been the definer of my limits.”
“Haha,” he types.
Then, “That makes me kinda sad.”
“Me too.” says I.
Continuing ….
