It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’ve been pretty busy trying to finish school. After this semester I only have my senior thesis to write and then I graduate.
Anyway, the point of this post…. I noticed that there was a lot of trackback spam on the site. Unfortunately the antispam that is part of the newer version of Typo, doesn’t work the way I expected/hoped. As a result I have deleted all trackbacks and disabled them for the future.
Hopefully once school ends I will have some time to come back here and give this blog some love.

I updated to the latest trunk of Typo today and with that got Akismet Spam Protection. Also they added the ability to moderate comments in the admin panel, with options to publish, unpublish, and delete. I had seen too much in the way of trackback spam on other blogs so I had disable trackbacks on my blog, but now I will re-enable them.
In order to get Akismet working you will need to sign up for a (free) Wordpress account so you can have an API key sent to you. Pop this API key into the Akismet Key field (under Spam Protection on Settings page) to make Akismet functional.
