I've noticed that whenever I slack off on this blog and don't post for a while, I get a little flood of comment spam.  This may just be a coincidence, but I don't think so.  I think the spambots cruise around the blogosphere looking for dormant and semi-dormant blogs.  When they find one, they post their comments. 

So, from now on I'm going to try and get ahead of this curve and post more regularly to keep them at bay.
