In an earlier version of this entry, I said that my blogging experience was being ruined by spammers who attacked the blog with spammy “comments” and phony trackback pings. I wondered how other bloggers dealt with these attacks. I think I know. I explored Movable Type’s features enough to now know that I prevent spam by requiring commenters to register.
Experienced bloggers would probably find me quite naive. Luckily, they’re probably not reading my blog, so they don’t know what a dunce I can be.
