Here I am using this wordpress.com account to learn a little more about blog spam in order to keep my other self-hosted blogs safe from it, and I discovered the ''Next Blog' button up there in the upper-right corner.
After clicking through two blogs at random that happened to be displayed in some other language I don't understand, I finally landed on Reverend Gisher's blog, to which he hasn't posted since January.
Very clever writer, he.
I placed a short, annoying comment on his about page. I merely wrote: "I like you. Keep writing."
And as for me, well, I'm not maintaining this blog, per se. I'm developing blogs at yourmothershouldknow.com, and spellrightnow.com, and timrockman.com, and loosearrow3d.com, and powell3d.com, and positive180.com, and powelltownusa.com, and the list goes on. I'm only here to get the API key they promised me. Why one needs to set up a wordpress.com blog just to get an Akismet API key, I'm not sure.
I've only just begun installing the newer version of WordPress 2.0.2, or wherever we are now, and Akismet comes installed right with it, but the instructions tell you to get your API key from your WordPress.com account, so I had to come make one.
Who else knows their way around all this techno stuff? Sherman Hu? Teli Adlam? Of course Matt Mullenweg does, I know that. Brandon Hong?
Anyway, go read Reverend Gisher. He's funny.

If you are playing around with wordpress and ways to prevent spam you may want to try sxore, a WordPress plugin that provides identity and reputation for bloggers. It’s a little complicated at first but then it gets really simple …
Tell me what you think if you give it a try. You can try leaving a comment with it at blog.sxore.com.
