About two weeks ago, I decided to throw in the towel with some of my older zomblogs (zombie blogs), and call a brief hiatus with a few active weblogs. This became a necessity due to the excess number of projects that I had become involved in.

No sooner did I announce my hiatus than did the vultures descend. I lost track of the number of drug spam comments that got posted on one of my weblogs. Why that one, I don't know. Fortunately for me, I had turned on the comment moderation. I also have an email sent to me when a comment is posted.

As a redundancy measure, I also subscribe to my own comments feeds for all of my WordPress platform weblogs and journals. This way, at the beginning of each day, whichever client I check first (email or rss), I'll be sure to see any comments without having to login to each and every blog (I have several).

While most of my currently active weblogs are on the WordPress platform, most blog platforms will let you subscribe to your comments in RSS, either directly or through a separate feed. I've found this to be a time-saving technique that blogmasters may want to consider. This technique, of course, will work for a non-blog website for which a comments feed is generated.
