Why No Comments?

Some have emailed and asked why this blog doesn't offer a comments section, similar to many other blogs. Unfortunately, the answer is spam.

I've noticed some trends taking place across the web to combat spam. Many blogs I visit are moderating their comments (that is, the comment must be approved before it appears), others are getting rid of comments altogether and some are moving toward the infamous "no follow" tag. Whatever the case, blog spamming is becoming obsolete, but there are still many spammers who have no idea that their links are flagged with "no follow," simply because they're not aware of it. Until the majority of the spamming community catches onto "no follow", spammers will continue to flood good blogs with useless comments but at least bloggers out there like myself are putting up a pretty good fight.
