Yes, apparently January is already half over. I should keep a better watch on all those clocks I've been collecting.
I wanted to extend a great big thank you to all my visitors throughout the years. I deeply appreciate your comments (and gifts of films!) and words of recognition. I truly do even if it takes me a while to respond.
I'm sure it's blog-world-wide, but I've been having a persistent case of spam that I'm having trouble eradicating. I have finally caved and enacted the wiggly-word gate for comments from now on. I harrumph and snort when I see those floating letters once I type my comment elsewhere but I need to do something. I'm starting to lose legitimate comments in amongst the spam notices. I want to keep comments open to hear from as many people as possible, so let's give this a try.

I had to do the word verification thing, too. I heard many good reasons to avoid it back when I did "Blogathon", a (usually) annual charity blogging event, so I avoided word verification for a while, but the spammers are really persistent. And not just spammers, but people who get, er, confused and start ranting about things that make very little sense.
Overall, a little word verification isn't so bad, if it means a blog can still get comments.
I'm sure I'd get more comments if I spent more time interacting with my readers! Faster response time to comments is just impossible as soon as school started up again.
But you know, the wiggly word gate worked! I just have to check the profiles still but the spam is pretty much in check.
Hope things are going better for you now, Stacia.
