After five years it was inevitable. My blog has been spammed ! Granted, if you haven't visited my website in the last few days you probably won't have noticed it. I cleaned it up very quickly. However, in order to curb the incredible amount of spam I had been receiving, I have turned on comment authentication. This means anyone who wishes to comment will need to register for a TypeKey account from Six Apart (who does the Movable Type software I use for this blog). This should only be a temporary precaution until I can find time to upgrade to Movable Type 3.2 and find some less annoying methods to stop spamming.
