Mostly with email addresses from Poland and Russia, obviously spammers or people trying to take advantage of some xml wordpress bug or something.

I shut off the registration too, so that might slow them down. I’m just so sick of getting emails about account signups and seeing they’re coming from Poland. I mean come on, 300 accounts from people in Poland on an english-speaking blog?

Fixed one or two issues with the blogs too, the stupid ShareIt plugin is gone, I’ll hardcode in things like that from now on or make my own plugin for it.

Don’t worry Mac, I’ll fix the comment thing this week too!
