Dealing with “Comment Spam”

¡Hola, Español 1 y 2!

I’ve been bombarded with tons of Spam via comments lately, so I’ve implemented various hacks into my website in the hopes of preventing the spam while still allowing you guys to comment.

One thing that you’ll notice right off the bat is that you now have to enter a random code to submit a comment. Make sure you type it in EXACTLY as it appears, or you will get an error.

Because all of these hacks are not perfect, it is possible that a legitimate comment won’t get through. If this comment is yours, please let me know and I will reinstate it.

(P.S. Hi, Thatcher and the rest of Dumb Street!)

Firefox-Verision 1.0 Coming!

Firefox is the new and upcoming browser that is kicking Internet Explorer’s butt!

Since the preview release came out in mid September, over 8 million downloads of Firefox have been counted!!! And it is quickly becoming the number 1 alternative browser to IE outpacing the long-standing Opera browser and the relative newcomer, Apple’s Safari browser.

Be a part of the revolution. Be one of the first to take down IE. Download Firefox v1.0 beginning at 1am. Finally let Microsoft know what you think about their inferior products.

Do it! It’s free, it’s secure, and it’s superior!

“Beware of spyware. If you can, use the Firefox browser.” - USA Today

“Better than Internet Explorer by leaps and bounds.” - FORBES
