I tried reopening comments on my blog and set them to close 5 days after a post. This completely eliminated all the spam I was receiving.
Now, I’m going to experiment with having comments on new posts open for 10 days.
If you like my post or want to say something about it, please leave a comment there. Sometimes people will send me an email with a comment about a post. Don’t do that. I don’t need more email and I’d much rather talk with you about my blog in my blog. Thanks!
