Hehe, that’s cool!
One sort of off-topic comment, though: as your links look just like the regular text on the site, it took me a while to realize that “this” was a link and you hadn’t forgotten to add the url.
Nice work, anyway! I’ll make sure to use it (although I usually just delete those spammy comments)
Thanks for pointing that out, Jarkko. That’s what comes of tweaking the CSS a bit and forgetting to switch back to the old version. :-)
That is HILARIOUS! I have one person I am not too fond of and she does it all the time. I just end up chucking her comments coz they are filled with all of her links to her blog.
Glad you found this amusing, Marci. I don’t use this too often, but every once in a while… :-)
