  Evils of Blogging

Blogs have now become a tool for spam and unauthorized advertising. To all those who have posted in my comments area I’ve been forced to remove every comment in order to get rid of the spam. In the future if you are a blogger and want to leave information on your website, and then e-mail me, I’ll look it over and include it in a blog. In the end, this will give it a better and more permanent link. Leaving comments only as a means to get your blogs name out there is senseless. If it is part of a tagline after leaving true feedback or praise, and that is the main purpose of your comments then I have no problem with this. It’s easy to tell the difference between spam and worthwhile comments and self-promotion.

I personally will never leave comments for the sole purpose of getting more recognition. When I leave comments I genuinely have something to say. Okay, that’s my little rant for the day. However, I thought it important because abusers are ruining it for people to comment legitimately. And if we allow spam and the like to infect the blogging world, the whole system won’t last long.
