The purpose of allowing blog comments is to let readers interact and provide advice or an opinion on the post topic. The first test for real comments is ask “Did they reply to a specific point made in MY post or could their comment fit any post on any blog including a brain surgeon?”.

With experience over a period of time new blog owners will learn to recognize real people from spammers.

Most spam includes generic compliments about your blog or website with links to an unrelated site. Spammers prefer being anonymous using fake names to hide their identity. Spammers often use free email services like gmail or yahoo which is another clue they’re hiding instead of looking to truly interact.

As unbelievable as it seems, spammers continue to send millions of junk emails every day yet only a small percentage actually make it through the gauntlet of anti spam measures at every level. Despite the high mortality blocking spam, there must be enough people who actually fall for spam tactics to make it worthwhile.

The spam assault is unlikely to change, so follow the test for battling blog spam advice here, and then use the search engines to learn more anti spam strategy.

After converting a client’s blog from Blogger to WordPress recently an invalid xhtml blog mystery was uncovered. The blog home had 88 xhtml errors due to an invalid reference to class=msonormal in the code when validated to W3C. Two years ago the custom Blogger template and css styling that was created did not have that class defined, so how the code was inserted into the content required a closer look to solve the mystery.

While testing the WordPress blog with all posts imported from Blogger it was discovered the xhtml code errors were the result of the class=msonormal showing up in just two posts that the customer had published. The custom tutorial that was provided for creating and publishing posts in the original design was very specific about writing drafts in plain text with NotePad and using copy/paste to publish in Blogger.

The code errors were introduced in Blogger and imported into WordPress because the client wrote those two out of all their posts in MicroSoft Word. The problem with composing blog posts with word processing software like Word or WordPerfect is they create content in machine code that only looks like plain text. They may retain formats that are hidden and then show up when the post is published.

The solution to the invalid xhtml blog mystery of the class=msonormal code errors was to copy and paste the post from html view into NotePad, and then edit. In addition, the Word format inserted empty paragraphs with opening and closing p tags between paragraphs, so those and the reference to the class=msonormal were removed.

Finally, the last step was using copy/paste of the text from NotePad back into the WordPress post edit screen, and then republish. This easy solution using plain text removed the hidden formatting and the home page tested valid to W3C without any of those 88 xhtml code errors.
