Hi everybody,
So sorry to have to do this, but from now on, I'm going to have to require anyone desiring to leave a comment to sign in with a simple user account. The reason for this is that this site has now been fairly well indexed in the search engines and I am getting what is called "comment spam" a lot now and it's a pain to have to go back in and delete it all every day.
"Comment spam" are the comments you see from a random user that just have a URL in them. Those are just "robots" posting those comments out to the world so those sites can either get advertising OR get incoming links to their site which can help with search engine placement. It's unfortuntate that those lame people make it so I can't leave my blog fully open. Anyone can still comment, but my blog software will now ask for some simple user data just to keep those robots from comment spamming me. Rest assured that providing your user info is ONLY to be used for purposes of this blog, I will not share any information you give me with any third party. Thanks!
No more migraines,
Kelli :)
Sorry you had to do that, but it's not surprising. I feel fortunate I haven't had to do this on my blog.
