A little site news

I’ve installed Spam Karma 2 and Bad Behaviour in the hope of reducing the comment spam - before with just the built-in blacklisting I was having to set all GMail posters to moderated status, for instance, and it was a losing battle tracking the ever-changing splogs. I get about 10 to 20 or so spam comments and trackbacks per day here.

My blog no longer appears on the Google front page when searching for what japan thinks from my home and work PCs at least, although it’s nice to see that I am being correctly syndicated by a couple of news sources, even though nobody asked me before doing it!

Finally, I’m Blog of the Week at Planet Japan Podcast Episode 48, so it seems, but I haven’t had time to listen to it yet! The bit about What Japan Thinks starts at 13 minutes and 34 seconds into the show, so please pay them a visit!

      I’m sticking with Akismet for now. Only 1 spam comment has surfaced out of the 1000s that have been caught.

      There’s a better way to collect comments. Haven’t you ever seen one of those sites where in order to proceed further, you have to enter text you see within an image?
      Take a look at the comments section of this site. http://www.paul.bz/blog.aspx

      Taki, Spam Karma gives you a captcha if it thinks your post is borderline spam. Your posts actually got flagged for moderation, due to no Javascript. Perhaps if there had been a few more red flags raised you’d have seen a captcha.
