Typekey
I got my first comment spam this morning. This means someone put a comment into my blog which was just a spam advertisement. This is not good.
Movable Type is the blogging software I'm using for this site. The people who make it have an initiative called Typekey which allows a degree of authentication for people who want to comment. I set myself up on there and registered this site, so now it's available here.
I'm not requiring people to use it, but if the comment spam gets too bad, I may have to do something. So if you head over to Typekey and set yourself up an account, that would be nice.
I had a bit of trouble actually getting my site set up to accept typekey.
This page gave me the help I needed.
You have to enter in your Typekey profile the root address of your blog, which is http://se71.org, rather than the proper path http://se71.org/blog. That's odd I think, and a bit counter intuitive, but now it's working.
