OK, a few weeks back someone had let me know that the “captcha” or the security verification for commenting wasn’t working, meaning that nobody could comment on my blog. I definitely want people to be able to comment, so I removed the captcha security. Imagine my shock when I found that over the last week, I had received almost 1000 spam comments on 20 different posts!!! After spending over a half an hour cleaning the comment boxes out, I re-enabled captcha, although I noticed it still isn’t working. I guess I’ll have to get together with my host to see why this is no longer working, but I can’t just leave things wide open any more, apparently. I want people to be able to comment, but this is ridiculous.
And although I know those idiots spamming my site aren’t even visiting, see above picture! Yeah, that’s right. Does anyone really click on your link and buy fake medicine from somewhere in Asia? Is it really worth your time? In any case, rant over! I hope those people that actually enjoy visiting my site keep visiting, and I hope to get the commenting fixed soon!
