I have to give my blog’s spam filter it’s due. In the last 24 hours alone it has probably caught about two dozen spam comments. In case you don’t know, there are actually people who created software that puts links to their (and others) websites of dubious nature in the comments of blogs.

I love this blog software, Wordpress and I currently use Spam Karma 2 to catch all of that junk. It does an excellent job. I like being able to have people comment without me having to review their comments before they are posted.

Spam Karma 2 lets me do that with the piece of mind that no nasty stuff will make it through. I would like to coin a new (at least to me anyway) phrase related to Blog Spam - BLAM. Blog is short for web log and BLAM will now be known as the shortened version of blog spam.

Just send me the credit (or money :)) whenever you use the term.
