    I am struggling to cope with the spam in the comment section. Don't know much about the plugins that I can use for overcoming this. Is there anyone who can help me out?

    Tell me about it. With "her" looks I certainly wouldn't go for a web developer career. The only think that could make Lucy's avatar any less convincing would be a stock watermark slapper right across it.

    According to TinEye, it's shutterstock.7eer(dot)net/c/77643/108110/1305?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shutterstock(dot)com%2Fpic-273095117%2Fstock-photo-happy-young-business-woman-with-a-folder-at-office-building.html
    and 13 other matches.
    (My photo's real. Maybe unflattering, but real.)
