2. This is the first time I heard about blogroll spam. Does it mean that blo.gs is not spam-free? Oh, I hate spams

3. Dude!

   By the way, why not use WP’s internal link manager to organize your blogroll? I do, and it gives me full control over the site’s titles. Spam? Not on my site! :)

4. Does it mean that blo.gs is not spam-free?

   I have not yet received any response from blo.gs. But if it is what I suspect it is, then the problem is not that there’s spam on blo.gs, but rather that there is a security breach somewhere in the code that adds blogs to my list of favourites.

   The thing is, I actually need to add the blogs myself, and to do this requires log in.

   Apparently not for this spammer.

   Mathias,

   I have no idea how to get the internal link manager in Wordpress to show “latest updated link” topmost. I take it you have suggestions?

5. There you go, Joen.

6. What’s worse is the list of recently added blogs at blo.gs - they’re all spam blogs. Great.

   Maybe their automatic-registration-blocker was decoded?

7. Thanks Mathias,

   I’ve been completely away from the Internet this weekend, so your trackback landed in the queue. Unfortunately a couple of real spams landed on the site, so remind me to turn on “must have previously approved comment” before I go on weekend in the future.

   I’ll take a look at the article, and hopefully I’ll migrate!

   Tristan,

   Maybe their automatic-registration-blocker was decoded?

   I’m not sure what you mean, but these blogs were not only added to blo.gs, they were also added to my specific list of favourites. Not cool.
