Olivia Talks

Arrgh!  I was getting really close to pulling the plug on this blog with all the damn spam comments I’ve been getting lately.  We’re talking 144 of them since I posted that last post about spam.  That’s insane!  I don’t have time to waste checking out all these email notices of a new comment to be moderated.  And it’s like I get one from one spam bot, and then I keep getting a whack of them from the same spammer.  That was enough to drive me whacko!  I was desperately trying to figure out this wordpress blog and how I could activate this askimet plugin that is supposed to help with the spam, but I couldn’t get the damned plugin working without the missing api key that I finally figured out how to get.  What a nightmare it’s been!  Anyway, I have the api key, the askimet and a wee bit of patience and sanity left, so I’ll keep it rolling and see how things go.  It’s not like I have a whole lot to say, but when I want to ramble on it’s nice to have a place to come and hang my hat.
