Blog Business: Comments

With apologies to those readers who have legitimate comments to make about the content of this blog, the word verification feature has just been turned on. What this means is that to leave a comment, you will have to type in a word that you will see displayed as a graphic.

Annoying, yes, but the reason for this is that there have been a few recent changes with the Blogger system that make it extremely easy for automated systems to see what posts have just been added and spam them. The prior post for the Google Beta Blog Search already generated spam comments! This change has just happened within the last week, but it is taking a great deal of time for the administrator of this blog to delete the spam comments. The word verification will prevent automated systems from adding comments since it takes a human being to read the word and type it in. Again, sorry for the additional step for those of you with legitimate comments.
