But I Don't Like Spam...

Nope, not a posting about the Monty Python Christmas special. No, comment about the recent, and what appears to be on-going, mass blogspot spam attack both the blogs have been under the last few days.

Searching around the 'net, I'm not alone apparently. And, it would seem, Google have taken on board the comments, trying to combat it with the nofollow attribute in the A tag. Which, of course, doesn't appear in the current DTD's. But further reading shows it's being actively used to remove spam blog's from Google searches.

There's a couple of plug-ins for Movable Type that'll help. And coupled with iMark's little jscript comment fixer, it'll throw up more blocks for them to jump through. Either way, it's all going to reduce the effort of cleaning this place up every five minutes at the mo' :-D
