I have two different wordpress plugins (Akismet and Bad Behavior) to fight spam comments on this blog. So far, they have served me really well especially lately that I’ve been receiving a lot of ridiculously insane spam commenters who come and litter my site with trash.

May 25, 2010

Hi, my name is Grace, an eager and dedicated blogger who also happens to be out of the internet loop for more than 24 hours. Yuck.
