Anyone else getting their blog spammed

[Rik]

I've had a couple of spam comments added in the past 24 hours, both gibberish. Odd. 

[Gary]

No, just checked mine and all is well

[Rik]

Just had a third one. Peculiar...

[Simon]

Not me.  But I haven't got a blog. 

[Rik]

That should help.

I've not yet got a blog, but I have managed some in the past. If you are having spam issues giving the Akismet plug-in for WordPress a go might help. The Akismet plugin is developed by the same company as WordPress and is designed to prevent blog spam (maybe that's why it didn't serve us as well in the trial?).

Your blog must be getting pretty popular, or at least indexed, for spammers to start to target it though!

Thanks, Adam, I'll take a look (I don't know whether I can add it, or whether it's an IDNet-level thing...)

And there was me thinking you meant blogging. Or was it spamming??
