Fridays are always exciting for most of us (I say for “most” because there is always a Friday pooper in the crowd; go figure).

So, I published a post yesterday: Trackback Spam Be Gone: What I Use To Cut Down On Junk Trackbacks. As the comments started to pour in, I realized that I had a bit more explaining to do on the topic. Some of you might know what trackbacks and pingbacks are, some of you might THINK [...]
