I ran across this today (emphasis mine):

Opps Oops

I don’t know if the author of this sponsored post was in a rush here, but I thought I’d point that out. After all, brianwhite.org is a Website That Cares!

Added: Since it’s been a while since I blogged about Webspam (I work on the Google Webspam team), I’ll add a reference to our quality guidelines on link schemes.

It looks like a tweak I made a month ago resulted in a broken comment form. Whoops! If I had been logging into the spam-drop email address I use for this domain, I would have been alerted to the problem. I have been getting a small but growing amount of visits to this site. I wondered why there were no comments–now I know. :) Apologies for those who have been trying to chime in.

I also did a ‘lazy’ upgrade to Wordpress 2.2–I notice a couple of blemishes from this upgrade but I’ll keep an eye on what else might break. For those who use the Freshy theme version 2.1–there is a hardcoded “2.1″ that you might miss in the sidebar PHP. You can temporarily fix that by changing it to “2.2″ if you’re running 2.2.
