Turning off Trackbacks - Too Much Spam

October 21st, 2005 • Related • Filed Under

I feel really bad about this as I used to hate other blogs that didn’t allow trackbacks, but I’m getting tired of deleting a couple hundred trackback spams a day so I’m afraid I’ve just turned off trackbacks.

I might turn them back on to see if blogware have improved their filters.

    such annoyance.
