Firstly, Stats for the month. I made it into the mid twenties in the pack in January, which is the holiday month in NZ.
I have removed almost all links except to sitemeter, which connects to Open Parachute.
Using Akismet, the threshold for spam is a little lower. I’m now simply clearing the filter daily, so if your comments are not here, they are pining for the fjords, ex-comments, adjudged as spam, and removed. (Hints: no more than one link, no swearing, and no word salad)
The five or ten long term readers will be glad to know that I am happy with the current theme and don’t want to touch it. Until wordpress breaks it.
