Xpression.v2

It’s always a battle over here to try to combat spam while preserving legit comments from you boys and girls. For a while, I was using Defensio as an anti-spam plugin, though it was really paranoid and always wound up marking legitimate comments as spam and I grew tired of it.

For now, I’m back using Akismet. It’s less paranoid, though it tends to let more trackback spam in, so I’m also using Bad Behavior to try to help stop problems on that front.

With these changes, I hope to give myself less work while giving you guys more of an opportunity of seeing your comment appear right away instead of having it thrown into the “Awaiting Moderation” abyss.
