Well, today my Windows Utilities post got Stumbled (God knows why, there's only about a hundred of these out there). My traffic shot through the roof. This was my first time being Stumbled, so needless to say, I was a little bit excited.

Thank you, StumbleUpon. :)

Does anyone have any clue as to why on one day your blog can be completely spam-free, and then the next day and every day after that you have dozens of spam comments in your queue every time you come online? If anyone has any suggestions, excluding captchas (because they're not worth the effort for humans to comment on my blog), for preventing spam, I'm all ears.

In unrelated news, apparently Cialis has been nominated as the new drug that no one wants but will be pushed upon every man, woman and child on the Internet by spammers. This is a blow to the Viagra campaign which until recently held a monopoly in online spam.

I've noticed a handful of websites recently that offer to save those burdensome passwords everyone hates in an easy-to-access online database. Do people really go for this? Does anyone anywhere think to themselves, "I hate saving all these passwords offline where only I have access to them - hey, here's an idea! I could save them online in (probably) unencrypted format with an almost surely hackable website 'securing' them!"? And people wonder why we have a problem with identity theft in this day and age?

Here's my thought at this point about how easy it is to fool someone into giving you their full information: give it a good layout with lots of happy-looking stock models and a domain name that sounds authentic; something like "911ronpaulobamaabortionintegritycolbert.com" ought to suffice. After that, it's easy as cake to convince the user that all their information will be safely secured online in your "hacker-proof" vault of information.

I'll be hiding in my fallout shelter if anyone needs me, I'm just waiting for the end of the world.

I just added a couple things for SEO (meta tags, redirection to www, some other things as well). If you find any bugs, please feel free to e-mail me or leave me a comment. If you're interested in SEO for WordPress, I recommend this post. I don't want to become another blog blogging about blogging, so I'm not going to talk about SEO much, but I thought I would share something I found with you all.

I'm trying out a new theme for the site. It's a lot simpler, no images, etc. Let me know what you think in the comments :)
