Comment spam hell
Ok - I had no idea just how bad it was, but having just deleted several thousand comments offering the usual mix of xanax, lesbians and - for some reason - amaryllis…have now installed akismet and hopefully all will be, well a bit better. I wont’ pretend this blog hums with comments..but if you have said something and find it’s been deleted in the purge..apologies.

I noticed this in the ‘new’ search blogs
side-bar in google.sh/news search results.
Hitting the blogs search button turned up
hundreds of blogs for somewhat obscure topics
but the google summary showed that I shouldn’t
open them because they were filled with various
European language and English ipsum locator words
to be caught by search engines.
Shouldn’t the Guardian be compared only to
similar newspapers in Britain rather than the
NYT? NYT has a blogger special that increases
their count, unfavourably with TG.
