One of the nice features about blojsom is its ability to ping blog notification services. It’s a nice way for others to know I’m out here in the .edu blog world. Unfortunately spammers watch those services as a means of finding more places to spam.<\/p>\n
Over the last month or so the comments on my blog started being spam. I found a few ways of combatting the spam, but the spam bots just got smarter and smarter. Things finally came to a head when all of my blog entries were getting spam comments at the rate of one comment per blog post every twelve hours. <\/p>\n
Luckily there’s a plugin for blojsom that can help. Now the bots have to do a little math or their comments will be rejected. I don’t doubt that they’ll catch up some time soon, but for now this seems to be an effective way to keep them off my blog.<\/p>\n
If anyone here at Richmond has blojsom comment spam, please feel free to contact me – I can tell you how I set up the plug in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
