One more defense against spam-comments

As the number of spam-comments that Akismet has stopped being posted to my blog has now reached over 6600 (up from 1800 on May 2nd this year!), I’ve decided to activate a second line of defence and make it more difficult for spambots to access my site. I’ve activated Bad Behaviour, which is available for several different blogging tools.

If you have any problems leaving comments or trackbacks or accessing the site, drop me a line at my usual e-mail address (see the contact page).

    That’s exactly why Bad Behaviour exists—and why both Akismet’s creator and I recommend it as your first line of defence. :)

    So far it seems to be working very well, Michael. Looks like you’ve developed a great tool, which I will be happy to recommend!
