Too much spam

I have recently been inundated with spam comments from anonymous writers so I've changed my settings so that you have to be a registered user.  I'm not honestly sure what that means. I hope it doesn't keep out the real commenters from leaving comments.  

It will eliminate the anonymous comments, though. I'm sorry if this is a problem for anyone.  I just wanted to try to see if this will eliminate the spam.

I have some fabulous pictures to share of the Bouquets to Arts at the DeYoung Museum from last week that I will post later today.

Hope you are all having a great week.

Love to you all,
Randy

  3. I had that problem too and eliminated anonymous comments. But still get spam. They are registered so not much left to do but just delete the comments.

  5. Once I did that the spam slowed right down. As long as I don't have to verify, I'm ok with comments

  6. I wasn't sure what that meant either, but I see we can still comment, so I'm doing it, too. I can't stand all those 'junk' comments I've been getting lately.
