Diary of a Techie

My other blog usually gets spammed with a lot of automated entries from robots. For every 10 posts i delete, the robots are able to create 10 more. Fortunately, blogspot has a feature called “word verification”.

This feature can be activated by going into the Settings/comments tab. If you select ‘yes’, all posters will be required to enter the matching code from an image into a word verification window. The theory is that the image can’t be deciphered by robots, and only human beings can do it.
