Errr, I hate to waste a blog entry on this, but this comment spam has just become intolerable. Anyways, I am setting comments so that they need to be approved / moderated in order to prevent the spam from spreading. That being said, I selected the option that once you have a comment that has been approved, you should be able to post comments from there on without waiting from moderation. Let me know if it works or doesn’t
Comment Spam

Oops, sorry about that. I had my site configured only to e-mail me “approved” comments and not those that were waiting to be “moderated”. I just happened to browse through the messages waiting for moderation and saw yours. You guys should be automatically approved going forward.
Yeah, comment spam is a pain in the butt. I figured that since I didn’t ping any blog publishing sites, I could avoid being noticed by spambots. I guess I figured wrong.
Here’s a wikipedia article on “Spam in Blogs”.
please explain how do you spam a comment? I do like reading your blog…
I love your site too!
Wow, didn’t know one can get spam on their comment page!
Haha, very funny, just for that I’ll ban you! J/K.
Interesting, I guess since you had already had an ‘approved’ comment, it didn’t require moderation. I guess that means for everyone who has already commented, they won’t have to worry about moderation. Cool, that simplifies things. Hope it works.
Oooo, I love your site. :p
