30Boxes and Akismet

I was getting hit with stupid amounts of comment spam (the most irritating for some reason the ones that said, “I hate Spam!”) so I installed two new comments plug-ins this morning: Akismet and 30Boxes Buddy Cards.

Everything seems to be functioning fine, but I don’t have the greatest faith in my webmonkey skills, so do let me know if anything goes wonky for you.

(W/R/T 30Boxes: you can still comment without choosing to customize your card; it shouldn’t make any difference. If you do customize it, people reading comments can mouseover you name to see a little calling card or click on it and it’ll lead them to an aggregated page like mine, with as much or as little info as you care to provide. If this bores or confuses you, skip it. No big deal.)
