Sigh. I’ve been hit by spam-bots every few weeks since bringing this new site online, but was vaguely content with my previous hack of not displaying comment information/links on the main page. I’d forgotten about permalink pages.
Yesterday, I got strafed – every single entry in the blog got spammed. Thus, I got to hack a bit more code to remove comments from those pages as well. It was surprisingly painless. I’m actually sincerely surprised at how simple it was. 
Now, I just get to remove the offending entries from the database because I’m picky like that.
