Comments on my blog
Since moving to the latest version of Movable Type, the situation with spam has improved. The inbuilt spam plugins seem to catch everything so that nothing appears on site, but they also mean at the moment that even real comments get moderated. So. I’ve tweaked the settings a little bit. It now requires a valid email address before you can comment, and if you have a Typekey registration (see the above link) you can put that in, then once I’ve approved one comment, any further comments will automatically get approved. But you don’t necessarily need one to comment. I’m really annoyed with the spammers, I want to make it impossible for them to get through, without making it too hard for genuine comments to get through. But, because I think more and more blogs will probably start using TypeKey, I thought I’d give it a go. If it makes things too tricky, then I’ll go back to how things were.

What a nightmare Rachel! I so, so pity spammers that they have such sad little lives that they feel the need to plague people with their ridiculous comments!
