I would prefer you called the url a "hobby site" rather than "completely spammy" - you cheeky monkey. Being serious though, I have not noticed a problem on any of the other wordpress blogs I post on. Can I ask Askimet whether/why there is an issue? Clearly until then, I will have to remove the url (: Thanks for clarifyin John, I certainly wouldn’t want to do anything that would cause OMB problems.

I didn't provide that info, but I've linked it now. Akismet is the most popular anti-spam plugin probably on the planet. Virtually every WordPress blog runs it. And the reason that your comments aren't showing up is that Akismet is marking them as spam every time. It's because the URL you are using is completely spammy. As you know, I normally do not allow anyone to use anything like that in my comments, but I've been letting it go with you because I value your comments and stuff. But I think you're going to have to change the URL to a non-blacklisted domain because that one is could potentially begin to affect OMB with Google. :-( John Sorry Steve.
