Most of the time, the comment spam I get from my blog is pretty ordinary junk - sex sites, MP3s, etc. Then there's the "posting almost-geniune looking comments but with a hidden agenda to promote a commercial web URL" - which seem to have a strange focus on buying houses, double glazing and, for some reason, a lingerie blog.

When it comes to keeping track of comments on blogs, well frankly it's a pain in the backside. I never remember where I've posted anything, and I rarely know if anyone has ever replied.

Because I like being transparent I have decided to publish my policy on the decisions which are made about comments and their publication on this website.

Ah, I thought. A false positive. A rather crap comment true, but one which presumably was in response to the whole comment spam issue.

Well you're a right bunch of miserable people. Not one email to keep me company whilst the comments were down! Tsk! What do you think you're playing at? Call yourself blog readers... Anyway, they're back up now following some intensive hunting to find the cause of spam comments somehow making it on the site, despite all comments being pre-moderated.

An observant person might notice that comments on this blog are currently turned off. There's a very good reason for this - today I logged into Movable Type and found that over the last few days, 44 spam comments had somehow gone live on the site.

Riffling through the bin of ridiculousness... Yes it's time to answer more emails from the bulging post bag, and we had a batch delivered that were sent in 2005! Royal Mail's getting better all the time.

Following on from the top 20 posts of 2007, I had a look at what posts prior to 2007 were still making it big, big time.

But regardless, it's that time of year when the old website gets its Christmas finery - with some new, seasonal graphics. And baubles.

And congratulations to Kirk who became the first ever person to post a comment on this blog.

I hadn't actually loaded up Google Analytics for a while, so I thought I'd pop in and have a look at how everything on Planet Bods is fairing. Not that I'm hugely fussed generally about hits - it's just nice to watch them over time stay, well, pretty much the same.

Something I've been meaning to do for goodness knows how long, is now done. If you wish to subscribe to posts from particular categories in this blog, rather than the full thing, you now can.

Sometimes website ideas work, sometimes they don't. They can fail for all sorts of reasons - from being too ambitious, or just not attracting any attention.

Analysing stuff is great.

Your illustrious editor thrusts his hands deep into his bulging inbox... Oooh, err, matron.

Over the last few weeks my humble email form has been getting a slowly increasing amount of spam emails sent through is - usually with Japanese email addresses for some reason. Now as the web form just gets sent to me and doesn't go near the web site so I just sighed and put it with the rest of my spam.

You might have noticed that the decorators have been in.

After months of thinking about it, I finally got round to setting the file names that Movable Type publishes out,...

The inbox is bulging. Let's take a peak!
