Website Update: Fighting SPAM bots

I've been getting tons of automated SPAM bots posting on my website... and it's been a real pain to say the least. Needless to say, it been a big waste of time to keep my data clean. And, this will cut down on the junk emails.

So, I've implemented a "Captcha" technology on any data submission to the website, including sending me an email. Basically, this insures that the submission is actually from a real person.

How does this impact you? Well, from now on, when you submit a posting via the website, you will required to type in a word that you will read that the webbots aren't yet (knock on wood) smart enough to read the image.

Thanks for reading and enjoy the website.
