This year my wife decided to have a dry run thanksgiving day to test out her recipes. We soaked the bird in a brine solution she got at William Sonoma it really kept it moist. OMG, the turkey was so good and I get to do it again in a few days!

Thanks Vix, I haven’t had any real spam problems yet, but then my blog is just a baby. I like the fact that I get notified whenever a comment is left, as it allows me a lot of control, but I can imagine it would be impossible to follow all the notifications on a really popular blog (or multiple blogs, like Darren’s!)

I think it depends on what version of MovableType you’re using. I think the pre 3.0 were pretty prone to spam but filtering has improved with the newer releases.

Darren, ‘good to know that you’re already having fun on the first leg of your trip. Do take care and don’t worry about the spam now. I know it’s a pain but I’m sure something will get sorted out later. Have fun for the rest of trip and check in when you can. I’ve been down with the flu the past few days (still recovering, actually)… but once I get myself back on track, I’ll be posting here as I promised. Take care.

Wordpress rocks!

I love my WordPress too. And I think all blogging systems are prone to spam. It is just the filtering that is better on some rather than others. I know that even with the latest release of WordPress I am still using anti-spam plugins to keep my blog safe.

Also, I am glad Darren that you are having fun. I will try to keep posting lots on the blog and get the traffic going higher and higher for when you get back.

Wordpress is great for dealing with spam :)

I use TypePad (based on MT technology) and have never got spam. They do a good job on keeping them away. It is worth it to pay a little of money for the TypePad fee in order to save 30 hours a month deleting spam.

It is true that I only get a few visitors, but I know of MT bloggers with less traffic than mine with a huge amount of spam.

Think about it while on vacation! :)

Nice to hear Darren’s having a good time!

His post made me wonder, (and you’ll have to excuse me, because I’m fairly new to this,) is there somethng in particular that makes MT blogs easy to spam?

Just wondering…
