Preventing Blog Comment Spam

Spammers don’t just hit email – they also know how to add comments to blogs.  Several of my blogs/podcasts have had Spam comments added recently.  One way to reduce this is to enable “Show word verification for comments.”  That will cut out the machine-generated Spam, since anyone wanting to add a comment will have to type in the word to verify.  I’ve just enabled it, so it’ll be interesting to watch.

As a follow-up to yesterday’s post on using Word to post to Blogger, I’m favorably impressed.  It works great – even when you have several blogs.  Really a nice interface.
