Changes to Blog

Well, let's welcome the Spammers...

Logged in to see so many comments. Was excited. What could lil' ol' me have written that generated such a response!?

Spam.

All the spam comments have been deleted (I think?). Also, I've now activated the feature where you will have to verify a word to post a comment. Sorry, but necessary...

Back to the blog...

Do we have to memorize the word below? Can't the spammers see it also? I don't understand fully.

I also do not understand - this word verification, if we can see it why can't "just anyone" look up this site and see it, therefore comment?
Also I am not sure on the "sign up" to choose an identity, I went so far, was not sure, so decided on using the anonymous identity, therefore sign with out names.

Reid, I noticed on the news here that 4 US soldiers had been killed in Afghanistan and 3 wounded. Was this near your posting?
I also noticed that this word verification does change each time.

Yup, spam has hit the blogosphere as well lately, I was also surprised at my blog attracting comments... from robots. :-(
