Thanks, Rajat. I can’t stand all the spam I get without the GrowMap anti-spambot plugin. It stopped working for a while and I was up to over 300 spam a day almost immediately. Be sure to check periodically for more features. Andy added some recently that took my blog back down to no botspam again. What a blessing that is!

Hi Patricia,
Thank you. When you comment it is better to leave longer, more specific comments because short comments usually get deleted. Be sure to say something in the comment that makes it obvious you read the post. Do not include the title because that is what spammers do.

Hi Adis,
I don’t travel any more. I prefer to stay home, eat and drink healthy, and get more done online. It was so much easier to travel decades ago than it is today.

Hi Meghan,

Congratulations Gail,
Its good to see that sharing the knowledge has got so many importance then ever before with the help of blogging.
And I agree that Adrienne Smith is one of the bloggers who is very much concerned when it comes to blogging, engaging or approving whats good for the readers that will make a good knowledge base.
Thank you, Aditya. Yes, Adrienne still has the kind of regular commenters many of us used to have. I’ve gotten busy with other tasks and really need to go out what we used to call “blog walking” more often. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
