So it figures that I take two months off, and somehow my Google juice goes up. I've gotten more external contact about my blog in the past month than I did in the previous year of blogging. Not that that was a particularly high bar.
Oh yeah, now I have comment spam too. The sheer stupidity of which boggles the mind. I don't even take and display comments on this site. So it's not like the comment spammers get any Google-boost out of it.
Sheesh!
