Akismet works great

In the last week there has been a dramatic spike in the number of comment spam messages I've been getting. Yesterday I installed akismet, got a wordpress.com API key and in 24 hours it has stopped 300+ junk comments and let the one real one through -- incredibly simple and painless to install and start using.

Updated to Wordpress 2.0

As with previous Wordpress upgrades this one was also painless.  My 'Yet Another Daily Delicious' and 'Yet Another Weekly Delicious' continue to work also.
I've not yet restored the style sheet header (this one) or added back some of the other doodads.
