Can you please explain why I frequently get 'replies to a blog' in my private email which are obviously spam, and often not my posts anyway, but the same comments don't appear on the actual blog? I can do nothing about them, except delete because there's no way I'm going to click on them or use their email address – but I don't understand how they come through to me.Also, I need to get out more – not sit in front of this screen!

You should be able to set up a filter so as to target specific offenders. I see you have a Gmail address so all you have to do is click on the 'clogged wheel' icon at the top right side of the page and select 'settings'. A new window will open and at the top of the page there are number of options displayed including 'filters'. The rest should be straightforward. Hope that helps…

Have done my best, we'll see what happens!
