Spam-tastic

I have been bombarded for months with more spam than I can manage on my blog. I find myself on a daily basis delting 100's of spam trackbacks and comments.

Unfortunately I'm sure I lose many 'legit" ones during the delete process as well. My apologies if your comments don't make it from time to time.

I have recently moved hosting providers (well I'm in the process) because I was not happy with my current. I am going back to Media Temple whom I used for several years prior.

I am also pondering changing Blogging Engines as well, the one I have in my sights is Word Press. I would love to hear from people using this engine (both good and bad). After researching several I am just happy with the structure and templating available in WordPress.

My big concern is the RSS switch - I don't want people to have to change anything if I can help it so I have been researching several solutions for Wordpress to make this transition seamless. This is another big thing I would love to hear more on so if anyone reading this has made that change, or knows much on these topics please feel free to leave a comment (I'll try not to delete it), or drop me an email. shane at graphicalwonder dot com.

Go Wordpress.

I use it and have moved around a fair bit. It is being constantly mantianed with new bits and pieces being addon.

It has a good stats part as well with many other options.

One word: ReverseDOS. Get it... but first, read about it... I wouldn't promote something I don't use myself that's virtually killed comment spam on my blog (I may get 5 or so a week that leak through): http://andrewconnell.com/blog/archive/2005/11/02/2308.aspx
