Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam remarks? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.
Yes, I get a lot of spam. I have my blog set to default screening all comments, and I delete everything that attempts to advertise, especially if it is advertising for Twitter, or Facebook. Sometimes, just to drive home the point, I will approve a comment like yours after I edit out everything that is advertising.
