Spam Comments

Good evening to all,
hope your night is going well.

Here's a way to rid your blog of the dreaded spam comments that have been appearing all over the place lately:
(a word to the spammer... I hope you get a taste of the frustration you've caused so many, it'll happen.)

I'm certain there are many of you out there who have been having trouble with spam comments appearing on your blogs, several of the blogs I visit have had spam comments, and they struck at this blog too. I've been trying to keep watch over my blog entries here to get rid of the spam stuff shortly after it appears. What a pain in the neck.

Check out this link, and follow the directions:

It describes choosing "yes" for the setting of "Word Verification". If you choose "yes", people posting a comment on your blog will have to type a random word to send the comment, this will make it difficult for automated spam bots to send a comment to your blog posts. At best it should cut down the amount of spam we're dealing with.

Want to see what it looks like? Click like you're going to send a comment and you'll see the random word appear at the bottom.

Hope this helps,
I'm sure looking forward to finally being rid of all that spam around here.
