Temporary Changes

I am not sure what has changed this week, but I have had to delete dozens and dozens of spam type comments from my posts.  It started when I had the title of one post as Harry Potter! and I wondered if that attracted an unwanted crowd.  However, since changing that title, I have still had many unsolicited comments living links to who knows what.

So....I have temporarily changed my comment status.  I now will not allow anonymous identification to comment (which I hope I can disable soon) and I am going to moderate all comments before they post.

It is my hope that this will ward off any future unwanted comments and I can return to my friendly-reader status.

Have any of you experienced this problem?  Do you have any other suggestions for me?

Thanks for your understanding in this matter!
