Ok, nothing quite so dire, but after the persistent jabs by Doug that I was censoring his comments out of spite, I finally started looking through my 600 spam comments. Much to my embarrassment, I uncovered 16 or so valid, thoughtful and much appreciated comments from friends, colleagues, and bloggers I admire.

So, first, thank you, Doug. And my sincere apologies and thanks to the rest of you: Mark, Mike, Dave, Darin, Jamie, Heather, Wrich, Timojhenand Jenny, the Bloggess.

I wanted to send out a special thanks to Traci who commented on my post “An Amazing Monkey Story”.  It turns out Traci’s father wrote the story I included.  It’s an awesome story well worth the read!

Now that I have my spam all figured out, I will not (hopefully) let this happen again!

My tweets have become spam to myself…  Raised a packrat, I like the idea of “archiving” them as blog posts here, but the daily updates are just creating too many entries that really aren’t that interesting (unlike my blog posts).  With that, I upgraded the Twitter Tools plugin to a beta version that allows doing a weekly post of the previous week’s tweets.  I also enabled my “latest” tweets in the sidebar on the left.  There were a few hickups (plugin requires PHP5, which I have, but it wasn’t detecting it properly, so I had to “reenable” PHP5 on the server to get it to work) so hopefully there were no adverse sideeffects.  I checked out a couple of the other sites I host and they all seem to be working.
