  Is there a forum/tutorial for my question? Didn’t see it..but here is my question:
  I’m getting lots of “comments” with some of my blog text copied between brackets looking like this […] blog text […]
  Is this a valid comment or is it spam? Sometimes it’s just a word or two in the text of comment. No written comment is there.
  I’m puzzled on what to do.
  THanks!
