Like most blogs, BloggingTips gets it’s fair share of spam. It’s a real pain in the ass but up until now it’s not been a major hassle for me.
At the start of this blog’s life Akismet was catching just about every spam comment which was left. A few months ago I was getting 2 or 3 spam comments left on posts. This didn’t really bother me, I simply marked those comments as spam. Unfortunately, the last few weeks the spam at BloggingTips has been crazy. Akismet is still catching some…
Though of course merely being famous doesn’t automatically qualify you to blog, there are some celebrities out there whose blogs are actually fantastic. Here are three celebrity blogs I regularly check when I need inspiration, or just a bit of a laugh:
Neil Gaiman
Gaiman writes books, films, and the popular Sandman comic. His blog is filled with well-written accounts of his day-to-day life, as well as things like red carpet walks seen from the p.o.v. of an ordinary Joe.
Mindy Kaling

I’m not going to single them out by their names, but you know which ones I’m talking about. I have nothing against the people who created these plugins, but I can’t stand the way they’re used. I think they’re doing more harm than good.
I make it a point to personally email people who comment on Remarkablogger. When I leave a comment at…
