Does anyone know how I can keep this website from getting over-loaded with spam? I must get several hundred a day. All for casinos and viagra. Yuck! I spend so much time deleting it, that I’m thinking there must be a better way. I’m ready to pull my hair out!
On another note, I’m gearing up to participate in Vegan MoFo, which means I’ll be blogging at least 4 times a week! I’m excited to get back to blogging. Work has slowed down a bit, so I think that I’ll actually have some time at my computer (and be able to take pictures too!).

You can eliminate it a bit with the Akismet plugin for WordPress. It should already be in your plugins directory. Activate it.

Thank you chiieddy! I just activated the askimet plugin. Now I’ve got my fingers crossed…
Hi Julie, I am having the same problem. I am so tired of wasting my time deleting this garbage! I heard that many people have switched from blogspot to wordpress to stop this. My husband has been asking me for days to switch to wordpress. I haven’t looked into it yet. I too am getting ready for mofo and am so excited. Hope we can work this spam garbage out.
Hi Sheree! This site is with WordPress, so I’m not sure that it’s any better with the spam issue. I will say though that since I took chiieddy’s suggestion above, I haven’t had any more today, so far. Yuck, what a waste of time it is to delete spam.
I hope you’re doing well Sheree! Glad to hear that you’ll be doing MoFo too. I’ll be sure to hop on over and read your blog.
