Well, it looks like that nofollow plugin to defeat comment spam is effective; now I'm getting TrackBack spam instead.
I want to allow TrackBack pings, so I can see if any other blogs are linking to my blog; but man, there was some disgusting looking spam in those TrackBacks. Since each TrackBack creates a link on my blog to the blog that supposedly mentioned my post, TrackBack spammers can create links to their spam sites by sending TrackBack pings. This is really annoying, and to my knowledge there's no way to stop it, at least not yet.
Luckily, on your blog control panel, you can view and delete TrackBacks; just click the "TRACKBACKS" button in the left-side toolbar.
By the way, I'm going to be off campus tomorrow, Thursday the 28th, but will be back in on Friday, normally my day off.
