Espresso Coffee Snobs Blog is Back!

When I started EspressoCoffeeSnobs.com I also started this blog at Blogger.com. Of course I wanted to take their option of hosting the blog on my own website, but had no end of trouble when coming to publish the blog from Blogger to my website. And I wasn't the only one I discovered when I searched the Blogger forums; it was a common problem. Then I tried using a forum which I called "Your Two Beans Worth". Boy, you think email spam is bad! Try forum spam! Within days they were there: the pornographers, the pill-pushers, the weight-loss champions, the online casinos, all posting spam links to their websites. So I had to drop that too.

Well, yesterday I thought about trying again, and noticed that there were still some stray links out there to the forum and the spammers were still going at it, so dropped that idea. But when I visited Blogger I found that they have had a major re-release of Blogger and that all the issues with hosting your blog on your own website have been resolved. Yay! So I'm going to try to pick up where I left off. The thing I want most of all is to provide visitors to EspressoCoffeeSnobs.com the opportunity to respond with comments and start a conversation. Let's hope that the spammers won't attach the blog too. So I just posted a link from EspressoCoffeeSnobs to the blog, and am renaming it "My Two Beans Worth now that I given up on the forum. This new version of Blogger has options to prevent spamming, such as requiring comment posters to register and then for me to approve the comments before they get posted. It's a lot of inconvenience to you all, of course, but please appreciate that without these steps, most of the posts would simply be links to porn, casinos, drug sites, etc. I appreciate you taking the time to register and post your comments.
