World History
I am changing my contact policy for this blog. I will delete the old policy and connect this post to the blog template.
If you want to contact Miland Brown, send an e-mail to milandbrown at gmail.com. Yes, replace the "and" with @ for it to work.
I hope this will make it easier for publishers to contact me directly when seeking me for reviews. (This is happening at an increasing pace here.) Also, if someone wants me to check out a site I can do so easily with no fear a spam site will appear even briefly in my comments awaiting approval. Finally, people who are angry with me for something can snap off a nasty e-mail to me more easily and feel better. I probably will not respond to these but at least the reader will know there comment went somewhere other that the delete button on my Blogger dashboard.

- Fighting Comment Spam At The World History Blog
They will not go away. Despite adding word verification (and required ID's) to stop automated spambots, I am still getting spam in my comments. Apparently the spammers are now creating accounts just to spam. They manually enter the word verification...
