 * Hello fellow bloggers
 * Well.. Everything was coming along Ok, until I created a page called
    ‘Geocaching
   is coming’ and then an avalanche of porn spam followed. Can anyone suggest why
   the spam suddenly started (Is Geocache a rude word?), and how can I stop it?
 * Thanks

 * Thanks for your suggestions.
    I have gone through the process with Akismet (properly
   I hope!), and look forward to a spam free existence.
 * All the best
