While I still have absolutely no inspiration for anything, I’ve gone ahead and put the final touches on the July template. I wanted to just do a simple CSS template that wasn’t going to be much of a hassle and then I realized, my templates include about 15-20 template files based on all of the formatting I’ve done to specific pages. That’s all fine and dandy because for the most part, they’re already coded and I just have to change around some style tags here and there. I wasn’t, however, expecting the template itself to need 4 stylesheet files just so it wasn’t a 2,000 line long stylesheet. I don’t really like breaking things up like that but I guess my idea of simple is basically turning everything into complete and total chaos.
I still do have a lot of things to get done today but I would like to make a note to those whom are participants of this bull shit “Click & Comment Monday” crap. Please do not even bother to comment on my site unless you actually have something relevant to the entry to comment on. The bulk of you are coming from the do-follow blog roll and I have spoken to Tricia in the past and she does not appreciate those abusing the blogroll. I completely agree with her. The reason for the blog roll was so that do-follow bloggers can join together and read new and interesting sites. It doesn’t mean contribute a whole day to going down the list and posting the same bull shit comment on every site you visit just so you can gain hits to your site that basically has NOTHING interesting on it. I understand the point of PR, but don’t abuse it, you look like a fool.
If you’re a Click & Comment Monday visitor – don’t even bother clicking ‘Post a Response’, I’m banning every name, ip address, email address and website from here on in that comments having nothing to do with the entry itself.
Some of you may be wondering why this is such a big deal it’s ‘comments on your site‘, that’s not the case here. All comments are moderated due to idiots that just don’t seem to go away. So I have to moderate through 100+ comments every Monday from people going down the blogrolls. If I removed the moderation option than I would literally be plugging the people who know nothing more than the obnoxious and extremely rude way of getting back links. It’s not just the do-follow roll, it’s also the PPP Postie roll as well – and I’m not holding the owners of either one of these blog rolls responsible because they did not create the blog roll with the intent of having users be bombarded with spam comments.
Great post. I just wanted to let you know that it’s not so much the members of the do follow blogroll that are going down the list and leaving the same comment over and over again on the sites they visit but people who are NOT on the blogroll – not even do follow bloggers – who have seen copies of the list on other sites and run down the list to get a quick set of backlinks.
I’m not saying that some of the people on the do follow blogroll don’t occasionally make their way through the list and not always leave the best comments but I know that the majority who tend to abuse the “dofollowness” of my sites are not members of the blogroll.
I’ve been doing a lot of comment deleting these days!
BTW there’s also lists of medium to high PR do follow bloggers that people are hitting and abusing too. 🙁
