A while back I increased the security settings for blog comments. I was getting lots of automated spam comments (the manufacturers of Viagra and Cialis were apparently very concerned about my, um, well-being), so I started requiring all commenters to “register” with the site. This solution proved to be more trouble than it was worth, and no one registered. So I changed it back. All you need to do is click “Comments” at the top of the blog entry, enter your name and email address, and add your comment. No more registering! Comment away – I love hearing from you!
