You know what maps spells backwards?
Yeah. I am SO sorry if over the weekend you’ve been receiving weird notifications that someone has replied to your comments at my blog.
I’ve deleted the freakin plug-in responsible. It was meant to make commenting easier — it sure did! easier for spammers. By replying to your comments (via the plug-in) they circumvented my blog’s Akismet protection.
The problem should be fixed now. Again, I am so sorry that you’ve been bothered.
For now, I’ll leave the commenting function as the standard one for WordPress. That’s not the best option if commenters don’t have a WordPress account, but at least it’s one I know the makers bother to defend against spammers!
Grrr. This was not how I hoped to start the week.

So sorry to hear that, Jenny. You think some people would have better things to do with their time. :/
And I’ve just logged out of Disqus and it seems to be happily allowing an anon user.
Hopefully, Disqus is now installed and quietly working. I thought of staying with the simple WordPress comment feature, but a quick google suggested the best option was Disqus. Let’s hope so.
