Let's see if this stops the blog comment spamming...

Bruce sent me a link to something he had done to his blog to prevent blog spam, but I didn't quite understand what the changes were (and admittedly I didn't try very hard, either). Then Captain Oblivious shared his solution, and *that* one I understood right off.
So, I've added the SaveOptions field to the web-based comment form and made sure that real comments work (they do). Now I just have to wait to see if I get any comment spam.
Given the last couple of days, I shouldn't have to wait very long...

Personally, I like Volker's comment system - where you have to type something in to post. I particularly like the fact that his version uses numbers instead of the squiggly letters. Believe it or not, when I run into spam-prevention solutions that rely on funkified letters I usually have trouble telling exactly what the letters are. I was thinking the other day that somebody ought to do a version of that for BlogSphere. And before you ask, no, I don't have the cycles to spare right now (maybe in a month or so), so don't go volunteering ME to write it. Heh...
