I just installed a new comment plugin which should eliminate spam and do away with the need for authentication with TypeKey (famous last words). It asks you to type in a word when you submit your comment to confirm that you’re a person and not some spamming robot bastard. We recently installed it on Church Marketing Sucks with amazing results, so I thought I’d give it a try here.
Let me know if you notice any errors or funkiness. My biggest pet peeve so far is that when you tab through the entry fields it skips the challenge question field. I’ll see if I can find a way to fix that.
You may notice other funkiness around the blog. I’ve been trying for weeks to get my category archives to rebuild without an error. I finally did it (by switching to dynamic category archives), but now I’m having dynamic publishing issues. If it’s not one thing it’s another. Since I am working on cobbled together templates, I’m tempted to just blow everything up and start over with new templates where everything is up to snuff. We’ll see.
For now, comment away!
Just checking.
Interesting. It’s like a CAPTCHA without being as difficult to read.
I’m wondering how hackable it is, though, since the key word itself isn’t encrypted in any way.
Well, it’s from the guy who did MTBlacklist, so I imagine it’s pretty good. Plus he has some new ideas to trick it out a little more, so we’ll see.
And I’ve got no idea on the whole tabbing fields thing. It appears to be Google’s fault. You go to the various Adwords ads on the page when you tab, and they seem to be interfering. On pages without the Google ads the tabbing works just fine. If anybody has a brainstorm there, let me know.
