I turned trackbacks off.
I like trackbacks. It's an interesting way of giving feedback while keeping your writing on your own site.
The problem is that there's too many bottom feeders spamming trackbacks for them to be useful.
Maybe someday they'll come back, but not likely.

I'm doing some back-end work on the site today.
This site's anti-spam setup is doing a great job at keeping spam from being displayed on the site while hopefully not interfering with the experience of legitimate readers.
The problem at this point is that the attempts at comment spam are are actually starting to account for more site traffic than actual visitors are. The referrer spam also has pretty much made my referrer stats useless too.
Because of that, I'm working on blocking spammers' access to the site now. There are some interesting tools and ideas out there and I'm going to be trying some of them out starting today. Hopefully, it won't interfere too much with any of the regulars getting here.
Going to try a couple things. I hate letting them win.

Figures. I got my first comment spam. Deleted it. Will be looking into fixing it later.
I've been slacking on the site, as usual. I will get to it. I still have the vacation stuff to get to and the Virginia Wine Festival thing that we did this afternoon.
See y'all.
