Spam and Word Verification

As anyone out there with a Blog account may know, now and them you get someone posting spam in the comments. Blogger in particular suffered from this problem. It was getting to the point where I'd get about five comments a day that were spam. Going in and deleting them seemed to only attract more spam.

Thankfully Blogger has come up with a solution that thus far has shut spammers down. It means that when you want to post a comment you'll have to type in some letters from an image. I hope this isn't to much of a burden to ya'll cuz I do appreciate the comments.

If you have a Blogger account and have been getting spam, I highly recommend you follow the link above and set it up. Also I've found this page pretty cool if you wanna track traffic statistics. It's pretty simple and a nice reminder that even if people don't comment, they are spending 1.4 seconds realizing that they reached the wrong page before they leave.
