Comments Are Back

Just a quick note to let everyone know that comments have been re-enabled on Albion Road. I took them down last fall due to some technical issues and have finally got them back up and running. I'm wary as always of the scourge of spam bots that will inevitably descend. I've got a few options on how to combat that.

 

  • I've already set it up so that you must enter an email address. This is probably a very minimal level of protection but it's something.
  • I can add a captcha image (a letter/number combo) that you'll need to enter to complete a comment.
  • I can make it so that every comment has to be approved by the administrator.
  • I can set it up so that everyone has to create a user account in order to enter comments.

I'd prefer not to do any of these but I imagine it will eventually become inevitable. I'll probably go through the steps listed above pretty much in that order. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know. Until then, let the comments begin!
