Even the posters name is sex or adult or things like that. what do you do? I have marked them as spam but they are adding good comments to the blog. is there a way to block their ID or the links that are attached to them?

Depending on your blogging software, you may be able to set up some kind of Captchya system (those crazy letters and numbers you have to decipher) - that should eliminate most of the automated spam (although there is software out that that can read those codes).

If its porn, google may associate your blog with adult material which will get it blocked in a lot of places. Better to delete it. Gear List

Relax. Nobody is judging your work. Just saying that the comments you're referring to are not legit. Fuji convert - Ping me if you have any Fuji gear or legacy glass you're moving.
