I just hit a very significant milestone with the Akismet Wordpress plugin I posted about a while back. My Akismet plugin has successfully blocked 100,002 pieces of spam from reaching the readers of this blog.

I switched to Wordpress as the software that powers this blog on August 16, 2006. Through today that is 279 days running on this new software. This means that Aksimet as stopped an average of 358.43 pieces of comment/trackback spam from hitting my readers.

I will continue to do whatever I can to make sure that readers of this blog get presented with useful information. I appreciate having a tool like Akismet available which makes a portion of that much easier.
