Until further notice, only registered users can post comments on this blog.  I hate doing it, but this blog software doesn’t support enough anti-spam features to my satisfaction.  I know they are working on it with future releases.  At this point,

I can’t turn on a switch to make anonymous comments go away, so what I’ve done is turn on the captcha (the thing that makes you type in random characters in order to post) and only put in non-English fonts (such as Webdings) for the system to use.  Essentially, if you’re not registered on this blog, you’ll be asked to type in characters you most likely won’t even see rendered on the screen.  And when you register, you’ll have to wait for an administrator to approve you until you have posting prevelages.

I’m sorry it’s come to this, but until this blog software is brought more up to date I have little choice.  It’s either that or some of us continue to get fake and vague comments with links to shoes, phone cases, HVAC companies, and worse.

I know this might be an inconvenience for some, but it will make the rest of us a lot less frustrated.

Thanks!

Eric

ADDED AFTER INITIAL POST:

User registration is easy.  You can click on the Login link at the top of the screen, then select Registration on that screen.  Or you can click here.

Once you register, you will continue to be considered an unregistered user until I’ve had a chance to review your account and approve your account.  This may take up to 24 hours in some case.  I apologize for the delay, as I’m not always sitting in front of the computer.

This will help control spam on this blog.

Thank you for your understanding.
