Silly, Silly Spammers!

I just want to apologize to all you real readers out there, because due to an overwhelming increase in spam content on my blog, I've added the annoying-but-trustworthy word verification for comments.

I've always hated my friends' blogs that had word verification--it's so darn annoying and time consuming--and so I held out as long as I can. But the sad truth is, I've recently had tons of spammers sending me blog comments that have nothing to with my blog. They just keep piling up in my "Comment Moderation" box and I keep having to throw them out by hand. Ugh!

In fact, I keep a blog for my vanilla life, too, and I even noticed a lot of these spammers are putting the exact same comments on ALL the blogs out there in Bloggerworld that they can. I hate spammers!

So, for all you wonderful, real, non-computerized readers who consistently put REAL comments on my blog---thank you. I really do appreciate it, and I always love getting comments. It makes me feel like my blog is being read and people are listening to little ole me. Sorry for the inconvenience....

And for you relentless spammers out there, whether you want links to porn or illegally downloading Avatar or you're trying to sell real estate: Shame on you! >:(
