Man do blogs get spammed. A few months back I started using Askimet, a spam blocking plug-in for Wordpress. It’s been been working great. So great I decided to turn off my comment moderation.

It’s also time to update the old blogroll. It’s been a while so here are some local Clevelander’s who I’ve met or chatted with in some form online recently. I was thinking about linking to their sites but it might be better to link to a blog post they’ve done that I’ve enjoyed recently.

Candis Hecking pointed me towards a list of the 50 best graphic design blogs last week, a great resource.

Joe Fiorini did a really good writeup on the Cleveland Bloggers Forum earlier this month.

Beth Dean got me thinking about web design and formal education.

Bridget Stewart made me laugh out loud in her retelling of the exploits of Mugsy.

Jason Morrison is a usability expert. You have to see this video, very very funny.

Dana Kashubeck wrote about organizing her life online in a recent blog post.
