Open to the world again

After closing down comments and trackbacks I am cautiously opening up the ability to trackback and comment again. Drupal is coming through for me again and the wonderful Drupal module contributors are supplying the magic juju to keep spammers at bay.

I've been using the http:bl drupal module that plugs into HTTP:BL from Project Honeypot and it kicksass. It helps me blacklist and greylist IP addresses that look spurious or come from known spammers.

I also use the wonderful spam module by KernelTrap's Jeremy Andrews.

Whatever is left over goes to the Akismet module, although truth be told, after the http:bl and spam modules there isn't much left for the Akismet module to handle.

So now visitors can comment and trackback without moderation. Welcome.
