2007 is finally winding down, with everyone getting ready to welcome the new year.  It’s  been a full and busy year for me, and as always, life has taken away from the time to code and build projects.  But I did uncover a lot of interesting resources and stuff that have given me ideas for projects for the new year.   All I have to do now is make time and get the ball rolling.  One of my goals for 2008 is to do more of the things I enjoy for the heck of it, so here’s to more coding, more discovery, more ideas, and more more more fun.

Happy New Year and Happy Coding!!

I love Akismet because it has saved me a lot of time and ibuprofen (that I would be taking for the headaches I would get trying to ward off spammers. Here’s why:

Now this blog hasn’t been around for that long, considering that I made my first post on June 13 of this year, and I haven’t been posting as regularly as I would like, so to have been hit with that amount of spam in such a short time is something to think about!

Let’s think about this for a few minutes: This blog has been online for about 6 months now, that’s approximately 180 days, give or take. If you do the math, you find that this comes to about 8 spam messages a day!! Wow!!

Since I have comment moderation turned on, without Akismet I would be getting on average 8 emails a day to moderate comments on this blog alone!

Do you see now why I love Akismet?

If you have a Wordpress blog, make sure that you enable Akismet, it will save you lots and lots of time!
