One of the reasons I had originally switched to just having snippets of the blog post available on the various readers/feeds was that I was told having the full blog post resulted in more spam. Since adding full blown feeds, I’m getting 300 to 400 spam comments per day. It all goes into a spam folder but sometimes real comments go in there too and all I can do with that many spam comments is just delete them all.
I hope I don’t lose any of my readers but I’m going to have to go back to snippets and see if the spam numbers go back down to the normal amount of 20 – 30 per day. If so, I don’t have a lot of choices but to keep just the snippets. I could add the codes to the comments and maybe I’ll end up having to do that but for now . . it’s back to snippets.
Thanks for understanding.

It was a bit more convenient, seeing the whole of each post in my Google Reader, but I do enjoy reading all your news so I’ll come over and read your blog in full. You won’t lose this reader!
Melinda says
Same here. You’re too much fun to stop reading just because I have to click my mouse one more time. 😀
Hugs,
Melinda

Linda says
I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about but I love your blog and will just keep reading it anyway!! LOL
Michelle Wyman says
Sure I liked reading the whole post in Google Reader, but it’s only one click to come over to the website to read. No big deal from where I sit. You have to do what’s best for you Judy. I really love reading your blog, so thank you!

No big deal mate:) Miss the convenience, but as others have said, one extra click won’t be too hard;)
There are a number of ways of dealing with spam in comments. If you want some help at any point, drop me a line. Being a developer means I know a few tricks of the trade;)

Snippets work great! I prefer to go to your blog to read the posts and see what is going on. Maybe we will get a little more exercise having to push a few more buttons, 🙂

I am good with whatever is best for you.
Kathy C says
The snippets are fine for me too.
Jennifer Collard says
I’m glad you went back to snippets. My old computer is pretty dumb and dialup takes forever for it to get downloaded.
