[11:09 am] No More Pings

This blog no longer accepts pings. For each of the past three days I have despammed trackbacks recently sent to ancient entries. Perhaps the automatic closing of comments (which annoyed me, I confess) to cut down on that kind of spam has induced spambot creators to start adding trackbacks. Bastards.

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem on this installation of MT but enough's enough. If you really must (right, like that's gonna happen!!) link to one of my posts you'll have to use the archive pages information.

Soon enough I'll migrate to the same one I'm using for Steph's. Nucleus permits a fairly simple way to make your blog "members only". I don't think we'll have to go that far, though. There's a captcha on the input forms (for non-logged in users) and I think pings haven't been enabled (yet), so she's safe. I really didn't want to spend too much time undoing what spammers might do to her site. An ounce of salt as they say. :-)
