Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam remarks? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.

A good plugin to have would be Akismet. You can also require a captcha for comments. That should help deter. Good luck!
