 While adding that to my config file did work, it seems to create some
 funny links. I'm guessing this works by occasionally appending
 '?doing_wp_cron' to the URL. I've seen a few visitors to my site create
 links they've seen with that appended to the URL since making that change.
 And I'm seeing some of those URLs get indexed in Google that way:
