    I am oh so new at learning the terminology of building and maintaining my website...
    I have had her for about 2 years and all of a sudden i am getting hundreds of comments a day which are (spam), they are just not real comments. What can i do to prevent this?
    what might you (who know so much) tell me to protect my site.

    There are spam filters that you can add. Zenphoto has one included which will do a simple parsing of the message and identify SPAM by its word content. There are also more complex filters--see our web site for third party add-ins. Look for spam filters.

    You can also add a Captcha check. This is pretty good at blocking the robot spamers.

    Finally, if you have only a limited number of "legitimate" viewers you wish to accept commets from you can set up use accounts and set options so that only registered users may post comments.
