I haven't heard of 64arts.net.. but from what I see, it looks really spammy, with just excerpts of posts and then a backlink. I would recommend you take away the comment - we should give links to legitimate sites, not spammy sites like that. While it may be no harm now doing this - who knows what they are up to in the future? Remember that when you give them a link you are in a sense "promoting" them. With what is going on in their site, I think you are better off without linking to them. Especially when our blogs are still young. :) Hey ky,

It just comes right after I've submitted few posts, I will then mark them as "spam" in wordpress, so far still manageable to me :) Sometime I get 2-3 spam comments a day, mostly from those selling pills.
