On the weekend I got officially fed up. From about 10pm on Saturday night until about 8am yesterday, I got something like 70 spam comments on this blog. One or two – okay, I can put up with that. 70? No way, I am not going to put up with that!<\/p>\n
And so, off came the old antispam plugin (which wasn’t working anymore, and apparently was no longer supported by WordPress) and on went a new one. This one requires you to type in (or copy and paste) a password that is displayed in the comment form. Yes, this will make the process of posting a comment just a little bit longer, but I hope that you will put up with this for me, so that I don’t have to drown in spam comments.<\/p>\n
So far it seems to be filtering practically all spam out. However, I need to know that its not also filtering out your real comments. As I often don’t get any comments on the weekend, because I don’t post on the weekend, I haven’t had any come through. It would really help me if you could post a comment for me to make sure that they’re not being filtered out either.<\/p>\n
Rather than just making it some boring comment like “Is this working?”, let’s make it a little more interesting. How about telling me what your current embroidery, sewing or crafting project is? Thanks for your help with this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
