I want to apologize to the small band of followers that I have about making posting and signing up for my blog a tad more complex. I’ve added a plugin for a captcha box. While this adds a level of inconvenience to these processes, I hope it is a small and acceptable one. I’ve added it to mitigate the flood of spam comments and user registrations that I seem to get on a daily basis. We shall see how effective it is in deterring such things. As it stood, I was receiving dozens of spam comments as well as dozens of fake site registrations daily. And it is fully possible that I’ve accidentally deleted valid comments that were marked as spam by just hitting the Empty Spam button (I try to scan through them first). So I’m sorry for the inconvenience … though only a little bit.
