I do not get a lot of spam, either, but that is probably because I use Akismet.

I’ve had readers contact me about post, writers contact me about contributing, donors contact me about sending money for campaigns I was organizing, sources contact me about stories I’d been covering, other not so web savvy readers contact me just about how to subscribe, fellow bloggers contact me various things, planners contact me to invite me to national conventions and forums, students who wanted comment for papers, and both local and national media contact me for print, radio and t.v. interviews which I have done a few of, though I’m nobody.

All this I would have missed without my contact being avaliable; because in most of these case people are not going to comment to a post about this stuff, they’re just going to keep it moving if there’s no contact.

And I’ve gotten little offtopic or irrlevant side clutter in a year and a half, and after about 600 post.

I encourage you not to believe that the work you do is in signifigant and not worthy of generating the desire for people to contact you. You never know.

You know, I don’t get much spam through my contact form and there’s no form of CAPTCHA there. Oh, I’ll get one once in a great while (like once in 2 months) with nothing but URLs, but that’s pretty easy to spot and delete.

I used to visit a lot of blogs and I’m trying to get back into that. I always come across blogs that do everything you tell them not to. Partial feeds, no contact form (sometimes not even an email address can be found anywhere), and no search boxes. Some don’t even have archives pages. I think some people have heard somewhere that it isn’t good to display archives until after you have more than a one month, but that’s complete bull.
