A Real Bad Can of Spam

I have been blogging for a month or so now and its going well.  Certainly all the kind comments and emails and words sent my way have given me that impression.  I have now even started to get comments on my postings here on the blog…excellent!  But.  The amount of spam comments is something of a joke!

Some are funny, some are rude, some are downright foul in their language and tone.  The way this blog is set up no comment appears without me authorising it and thereby the address it came from so there is little chance of spam actually making onto a virtual page but none the less it is quite a slog deleting it.

I may look into plugins and such as this blog grows to prevent spamming, all suggestions welcome, but for now I thought I would share my thoughts on this.
