It is really comical to read some of the spam comments that I receive. Everything from being chastised to read my comments more often, to write blogs on topics that would actually be found interesting to others, and appreciative comments that have absolutely nothing to do with the blog post they are supposedly commenting on. The funniest part is that they ALL are coming from the same or very similar sources. All are from someone trying to sell a product or service.
This is exactly why I moderate the comments. I especially do not want the trashy content in my comments for any to ready.

How utterly stupid to tell you to blog on something more interesting LOL
Last I checked, nobody is forcing us to read a blog. I have been keeping up with your blogs for a long time and really enjoy them.
Spammers for you? Good Lord. I have no small children, they are all grown and gone, but I have learned so much from your blog. I may not live off the grid, but I home can, garden, knit, crochet, sew, etc. I want to thank you for your blog…I have learned so much from you. Thank you, DeeKnitterfmKS
One of the features I like about WordPress is their spam filter for comments. It sure had been good with preventing the spam from getting through.
While I have never worried about how many people follow my blogs, I mainly am trying to get ideas and information out there. My dear husband left his wifi hotspot unit with me so I can have internet at home. I will be posting much more often now. I am happy to hear that others enjoy and are learning from the blogs.
