Even Blogs Aren’t Safe from the Spammers

Apparently even this new medium of communication is not free of its share of issues. I have been seeing comments lately being posted on the site that are not relevent to anything other than advertising. It looks like the Spammers have invaded Blogspot. To be sure, if this site is to remain open to free, anonymous posting then there will be some spamming on the site. I just thought until recently that spam was limited to email and adware popups that were getting installed on our computers because of the Internet Explorer special features :-) It looks like open blogs are now a target as well. I would consider closing the site to anonymous posting, but I don’t think that’s the right answer. I just wanted to comment on the sad and irritating methods some people will go to when they want traffic to their web sites. On the up side of that comment, we’ve been getting a lot of visitors t the site. Let me know your thoughts.
