Spam Me Not

I don't know about the rest of my bloggy friends but I am being inundated with spam from people leaving anonymous comments. And not good anonymous comments like "Hey I just found your blog and really love it" or "That is a great project!" more like "Plz reply dumbells expand Bowflex" or "Come check out my blog many XXX party girls"

UGH!!!  That is my foot stamping UGH!

When I check my blog and see there are new comments, it is always such a thrill. Then I see 98% of them are spam- and it is very disheartening. Unfortunately, not all of the anonymous comments are being caught in the spam folder, so I have to move or delete them.

I don't want to go back to word verification because it is a pain in the tuckas! I don't know about you but I have a hard time with these. Not to mention annoying!

I am already disenchanted with my blog- ok well life- which is why I barely post anymore. Add to this the spam factor and maybe it is time to pack it in?

I don't want to, I feel such a connection to my fellow bloggers. When I have my head in the game so to speak I love my blog as an outlet to share what is going on in my life, my house and my garden.

I suppose I could change the settings to approve each comment.  Or eliminate the option for anonymous comments. I hesitate to do so because not everyone has an Open ID or Gmail account.  I wanted my blog to be easy access to any reader.

Anyone have any tips for managing the spam?  And for goodness sakes PLEASE let us hope I don't end up with another 50 anonymous comments....

Such a vamp

I am revamping my blog.

Haha not that kind of vamp but Hello it is Johhny Depp!

Changing things up a bit. AGAIN. The Funky and Frugal Finds Monday and Foodie Frugal Friday will now be a monthly post. Sown and Harvest Sunday will be a minimum of twice a month. as I am  preparing to return to school college, I simply can't meet the demands of maintaining my blog daily. 

It doesn't mean I won't post everyday but if I do post daily the content won't be as  extensive. I will commit to 2 or 3 per week (fingers crossed it is more) I don't want to let y'all down but my priorities are shifting. Life is gettin' in the way of my life.

Ok now back to Johhny Depp. If there was a movie starring  Johhny Depp, John Cusack and Robert Downey Jr. do you think that would cause the earth to implode and create a black hole? I mean all that hotness in one spot could not be contained-right?
  
Duuudeee--I sooo have a type!  And yet--I married a blonde--go figure
