I would recommend you to install and enable Akismet: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/akismet/
Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not and lets you review the spam it catches under your blog's "Comments" admin screen.

Joey, you asked several questions there, some answers are going to be personal preference, some others I have done myself and think they might apply to you as well. So, here it goes:
Deal with it
The web changes. A lot. Work done several years ago cannot and should not apply today. I have no clue on how many work references you have, but assuming you are ...

It seems to me that you have nothing to lose in contacting your old client to see if they require work to be done to their website. You will achieve nothing by not asking and it could be profitable if you do. You don't have to be so blunt by saying "your site looks terrible", simply regaining contact and enquiring about work could be sufficient. You cannot ...

I would recommend you to use a free captcha service like SweetCaptcha

Unfortunately, only sitemap_index's can have other sitemap's in them. You have two options as far as I can tell:
You could add a sitemap_index, and then link to your other two sitemaps from there.
You could just add both of your sitemaps to your robots.txt file (more info)
Alternatively, you could also disregard both of the above and just submit each of ...

This problem often occurs with Wordpress websites.
You get "not found pages" (404) because Googlebot find some links on the source code of your website. Wordpress in particular add some links for feeds in the <head> section even if you don't want. You can see these links by displaying the source code of your webpages (CTRL + U with Google Chrome, ...

Since the user agent is blank, you could use that to trigger a block:
RewriteEngine On
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^-?$" bad_user
Deny from env=bad_user
I put in -? in case the user agent being sent is actually a dash. It is very hard to tell from your logs whether it is actually blank, or if it is a dash.
The linked resource on StackOverflow has ...

Looking at the SERPs for the specific query you give, it seems likely that there is more competition than there used to be. And that competition is doing a good job of being user friendly.
Just looking at the top three results, all three look perfectly relevant. They all use the correct keywords, they all have code that I can use. Yours and the "Simplest ...

You can add an event handler to all links that point to a specific domain.
For example if the domain you are linking to is example.com and jQuery 1.0+:
var linksToHost = $('a').filter(function(){
return this.host.match(/^example\.com$/);
})
linksToHost.bind('click', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
_gaq.push(['_link', this.href]);
})

The definition of the original content is not the strong feature of Google and other search engines. So, if you copy alien content from other websites and put it to yours and make link to your G+ account and submit your authorship, Google will identify you as the creator of it.
On http://www.hotelmarketing.com/ they add the link to the first source in the ...

You cannot
host this blog in a subdirectory of my domain, i.e.
www.myurl.com/blog, instead of a subdomain (e.g. blog.myurl.com).
in Blogger. You may have found some old help materials saying that this was possible back in the FTP publishing days, but this option was removed some time ago.
With Blogger, your only option is to host the contents in ...

First off - it is near impossible to ensure 100% spam is never received on a public site that allows user submission, the best you can hope for is lowering it as much as you can.... Spam prevention is like a car alarm, it lowers the chances of becoming a victim.
There is hundreds of guides on the net but here's 5 solutions:, I personally just remove the ...
