Dear Blog Readers

Dear Blog readers and especially those of you who leave me your lovely comments.

I seem to be experiencing a pile of spam in my Blog, and I’m really not sure why now.

So if I do not reply to your comment and you happen to be a real person then I apologize wholeheartedly as I’m just experiencing a level of uncertainty as to what to do about this spam, as I’ve not had spam on my Blog before.

However, I did wonder if this delightful spam *hint of sarcasm here* has arrived because I changed the settings on my blog to satisfy A to Z blogging challenge?

Perhaps some of you out in cyber space who know more about this technical issue could enlighten me… Would be muchly grateful ;-)

Hope you’re all having a fabulous weekend as I am about to settle down to write another short piece that I may share here later…

  1. I took my captcha off too but have only had one spam comment on an old post. What you can do I suppose is moderate them all and just delete the spam ones. Good luck with getting it sorted I think these things come in waves I really don't know what they get out of it.

  2. I just want to say hello, I'm real!

    I hate spammers. I'm never sure why they waste their time.

  3. Hi Kay. My blog used to have phases of pulling in ridiculous amounts of spam. I agree with Anne -moderate your comments and trash the rubbish. The people who want to comment will still do so. It's your blog, so set it up how you want it to be. All the best, Annie.

  4. In front of my very eyes, my comment just went straight onto your page. If you don't want any old rubbish breezing through your door change your settings!!!!

  5. Morning ladies & gents
    What lovely people you all are, and I knew I could rely on someone to guide me on the correct direction. For now I shall delete what I think is 'spam' and see what happens. However if the spam increases and gets to be a bigger problem I shall put captcha back on. Thank you all.
