 * Sure, that’s a pretty common question. When you write a blog post and allow comments
   on that post, you may attract spam comments.
 * Spam comments are not much different than email spam (unsolicited commercial 
   advertisements) that you received in your email box. The main difference is spam
   comments are commented on to the blog post. For more information on spam comments,
   and how to combat them, please review: [Comment_Spam](http://codex.wordpress.org/Comment_Spam)
