Spamacide

I love your comments.  When you don't comment my insecurities set in and I assume you found the blog uninteresting or possibly even offensive.  No issues here!!  :)

So when Alisa wrote a blog on how to encourage comments I followed her advice step by step.  I have had more comments and I love it!

However, for the last 5-6 weeks I have been getting spam overload.  186 spam comments to be exact.  186 in just 6 weeks.  I'm a little annoyed.  Temporarily, I have reinstated the "write this word" aspect of leaving a comment just to stop the barrage of spam. 

Somehow my blog was a hot spot and the bulk of the spam comments were on one particular post.  So I deleted the post and it just moved to the more recent posts. 

I apologize for the inconvenience and I pray it doesn't discourage you from leaving feedback!

OK, so from the title, I thought you were going to go on a rampage against Spam. :-)
