I managed to lock myself out of this blog for over a year. First I forgot my password – then I forgot that I had created an in-box rule in Outlook that automatically junked any messages from my blog (I kept getting messages about moderating spam). So my password resets have all been vanishing into the ether.

Today I set a new in-box rule and spotted/deleted the old one. I’m back in.

First action – delete more than 10,000 spam comments that have arrived on the site while I have been away.
