It’s funny.  I had pretty much abandoned this blog a long time ago, but here I am contemplating actually blogging (my last false-start probably shouldn’t count).  Why?  Because the WordPress php script notified me of some comment spam that was recently added to an old post.  That was sort of amazing to me, since I have never advertised my site anywhere.  There has never been a link to it from my homepage (there isn’t even a homepage right now).  In fact, I don’t think there has ever been a link to my blog from anywhere in the world.  But somehow the spiders and spammers found it and started adding comment spam.  That’s pretty interesting to me.  Why not until now?

My site was set to restrict comments to those with valid accounts, but somehow one of the spammers managed to get a comment posted anyway.  I decided it must have been an old security hole in the version of WordPress that was installed at the time.  I have since upgraded it to the latest version.

The real question now is… will I post again?
