Just as email spam is a scourge of email and a serious hindrance to clear communication via email, comment spam is a scourge of blogging. Businesses getting into blogging need to have some confidence that their site will not be polluted by this comment spam garbage.

This post is about how anyone who lives in any reasonably interesting place anywhere in the world could use blogging to build a business, without leaving home.
