Tom remembers when
he got the first comment on his blog that wasnt from someone he knew personally, and wasn’t from someone he’d told about it. It was about six months after I started messing around with this sort of thing, and about 2 months after I’d given up on all of the stupid ideas I’d had with other systems in order to try Wordpress. The joy I felt when I saw that comment and followed it to someone else’s blog was amazing. 
I still get a little excited when someone new finds my site and takes the time to say a few words, as long as they’re not talking about their free online casino, where phentermine and viagra flow from the drinking fountains and mortgage loans are only a click away.
Oh, and if I were a Teen Titan, I’d want to be Robin, but I’m really more like Cyborg.

I remember when I got my first comment from someone I didn’t know too…man that was a good feeling…it finally sunk in that “other people” read my blog :D…and it’s so great discovering nifty new blogs too (like uberwald…)

Hey, if you’re looking at blocking spam, I have a few tips that might help. Email me.
I still get a surreal feeling when I get comments, too. It’s just odd that someone would take time out of their day to add to my little ramblings on the net.

I have a couple of plugins now that I’m running WP1.5 that seem to catch everything… thanks for the offer though
