I'm stupid, what can I say? I have a template all designed and ready to go (on a fresh download named something different from my current blog name) and I go and look at it longingly, wishing I could install it and never have to look at my dumb pink retro template ever again.

There are spambots out there creating some of those. Sometimes, they are just testing your spam defenses. Sometimes, the author URL is a splog, so check that. I've been *bombarded* with trackback spam advertizing viagra, xanax etc. I added those words to my spamkarma blacklist. Comments containing those get bad Karma points. The nice thing about Spam Karma is the blacklist isn't a complete block. As the owner of the blog, I get loads of good karma points-- so this comment with those bad words in it may actually get through! (We'll see now :) ) Are the comments marked as spam really bland, like “nice site; I’ll visit again!”?

But, I've had a number of comments that seem fine (not too many URLs, no bad keywords). I should start paying attention to IP address and see if its getting mucked up there. I'm so attached to email it takes me all of 3 seconds practically to moderate a comment, but still.
