Blog Spam

Why do people have to post ads in my blog comments? Do they have nothing better to do? Really - enough is enough on the spam. I love getting comments from people, but I get excited that I have a reply, then I open it and someone wants me to buy construction materials! Huh?!?

Kristen has not yet posted on her family website about her visit to the Wuxi SWI. I am trying to stay very busy at work (although not too busy to stop and post). I will keep you all updated as soon as I hear from Kristen!

The spammers are not actual people who are reading you blog and choosing to post their links here. They're bots that find your web address and crawl in and deposit their advertisment. You can prevent this from happening by simply activating the word identification feature. Notice how some blogs make you type in a bunch of random letters before your message is accepted? That's what you need to do too.

You can also delete a comment by simply clicking on the trashcan icon in the lower left corner of each message. See it?

Donna - thanks for the hints! I was trashing them all, but I didn't know I could prevent it! I'm off to try and figure out the word identification...

THANK YOU!!! :-)
