Could you help me out with my website?
Over the past few days, spammers attacked the guestbook on my site, filling it with several hundred "entries" that were actually ads for mail-order pharmaceuticals (posts from "people" with names like "levitra levitra," "tamiflu tamiflu," and "valium valium," with their own web address typed over and over in the comments field :grr:).

In order to clean up the mess, I had to delete the contents of my guestbook. I think I have it set up to block spammers from now on, but I have no legitimate entries, either, which doesn't look all that good for business.

Might I ask you to please check out my website, and, if you feel so inclined, post an entry in the guestbook so I can begin to rebuild it? Thanks!

1. Haloscan
http://haloscan.com

Free version plus a premium that allows you a lot of extras. Not one bit of comment spam since I started using them and I was on the verge of losing my hosting company by trying to run another blacklist file.

2. You have some beautiful
photos there. I did sign the guest book though I think more would sign if you didn't have the email address posted or if there were a way to choose to hide it.

5. Great photos
YOu have the experience and talent to succeed as a business. About the site, I had trouble reading the yellow link font on my monitor.

10. When you mention the yellow link font...
...do you mean the initial color, or the color once you've been there before?

12. Curiouser and curiouser...
Can you see the color in the "Raven Falls Photography" logo or the text buttons? Do they seem to be the same color as the link text you're having problems seeing? (They're coded to the same color.) Which brower and O.S. are you using?

13. It's the e-mail and website links on this page
That are not easy to read on my monitor. I can't make them out easily. I have to press my face against the monitor.
