Just a quick heads-up for the ExpressionEngine users coming to Boyink.com. 

I’ve been getting a few more than normal spam comments the last couple of days.  I noted in my search logs that they are coming in with referrer phrases like

community “Remember my personal information” “Notify me of follow-up comments.”

then hand-entering comments for the sole purpose of linking to their site.

In other words, they are targeting EE blogs by using the default labels on the comments form in their searches.  I’ve changed the labels on my comments form this morning to some alternate wording to see if it helps mitigate the spam.

EE techie note - this was one of those payback moments for implementing my weblogs all with a shared comments form.  Even though I run four blogs on the site, changing the wording in one template took care of all of them.
