BLOG SPAMERS CAUSE WAVY WORD USE











Unfortunately, there are now enough bloggers that spamers have come crawling out of their holes to try to prey on us. Just after posting the first post on The Purple Gang blog, we got a comment. The comment started, "I like your blog ." It went on to say that I could find information on how to buy low cost prescription drugs on their site. I said to myself, "Oh no, how did they find this blog so fast?" Blah!!

Luckily, there is a sort of off button on blog settings. Therefore, if you want to leave comments , you will have to copy one of those wavy word pictures. I know it is somewhat inconvenient, and I am sorry about that, but there seems to always be someone who ruins good things for the rest of us.

So, I deleted the offending comment and changed the setting to wavy word verification for your comments.
