It’s Forum Roundup time again!
We’ve had a lot of incredible discussions going on this week and would love for you to stop by and connect with us on whatever catches your eye!
Adrienne asks if you invite your friends to like your blog’s Facebook page. That’s something that Facebook seems to be acting a bit weird about lately, so it’s always tricky! It’s also a fine line between sharing your stuff with friends and family. Come on over and let us know what you think!
Alison wants to know how you plan your blog posts. Stop by and share your blog planning tools.
And just yesterday I started a discussion with questions about SEO use. I’d love it if you’d share your understanding of how to best utilize it as you write.
We hope you’re enjoying the new look of our forums and look forward to seeing you there regularly!

I’m having a lot of trouble with spam comments on Blogger. Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks!

Ashley- There are a few things you can try. First, do you allow anonymous comments? If you do, turning this off can stop a lot of spammers. Right now, I still allow anonymous comments because Blogger didn’t have the option to let anyone comment by just signing in with an email address. However, since I switched to Disqus for my comments, I think I’m going to turn off anonymous comments because they do allow that.
Second, if you have a post that starts to get overrun with spam comments, you can always go in and turn off commenting for that particular post. I’ve had to do that with 2 posts so far. Thankfully, they were at least 2 or 3 weeks old, so I knew it wasn’t like I was going to miss real commenters on them.
Hopefully, that helps! Message me if you have any other questions!

Thanks for these tips, Kristen. I have recently been getting loads of spam comments. One particular post has been getting hit hard, and I never even thought to turn off commenting for that post.

I’m getting slammed in Blogger, as well. It’s a million times more awful than it has ever been. I am trying everything but it’s AWFUL! You’re not alone!!

I definitely need to check out the forum about the Facebook page! I also have problems getting people to like my blog Facebook page.

Facebook is like twitter, it counts the number of repetitions you do, and if you hit that “magic” number, they turn you off for a bit, so that it doesn’t look like you’re a spammer.

I love these Saturday sharefests. I will have to head to the forums and check them out again. I had a bit of trouble last time and couldn’t post anything, I hope it’s sorted out.

Great discussions. I have asked friends previously if they’d like my page on fb. Sometimes I overshare but it’s their choice to read or not.

Just have a question about the discussion forum. I am trying to change my e-mail address because I entered it incorrectly. That is why I cannot get the confirmation e-mail so I can post. But, I have changed my e-mail address, press SAVE, and it just sits in limbo mode for several hours now. Can someone check into this for me or give me another option? thanks. Vicki

the last time I checked was yesterday and I was still having problems. I’ll check again. It still sits at the “Saving” after I change my e-mail address. The e-mail address is a typo, it is currently vmtwriter@vickimtylor.com when it should have an “a” in “taylor” to read vmtwriter@vickimtaylor.com
If any one can fix this for me, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks.

Thank you for approving me for the forum, but I’d still like to change my e-mail address in my profile. The forum will not let me do that. It just sits and spins when I hit save. Can anyone correct my e-mail address for me if the system will not let me do it on my own?
Thanks.
