RSSUPDATE: Comments re-enabled

Since my previous post on the irritation that is comment spam, I have had some time to play with protection methods. You’ll now notice an image verification code field underneath your comments - this should hopefully help out with the mass of spam I’ve been getting. It’s not ideal, and my sincere apologies to those with poor eyesight, but hopefully we can all share and discuss the privacy and security stories once more!
There is, unfortunately, one minor drawback: I have to use the default theme. As much as I liked the look of the blog previously, I’m a firm believer in content over aesthetics. But I’ll never say never… I may find a new theme at some point!

Ok. I was bored and spent some time trying to update to a slightly nicer theme that supports the Captcha! plugin I use.? Despite having a few problems, now we have a nice new theme - the key to this is that if your Wordpress theme doesn’t show the Captcha! image, simply copy the “comments.php” file from the default Wordpress theme to the new theme directory.? Works like a charm!
Looks like Bloggers 1, Spammers 0!!!
