Word verification

Word verification has been enabled to prevent comment spam - this is fake comments generated by spambots that look something like this:

Just seen your blog. Really great. I'll come back again!I have a Wedding Photography Northampton site/blog. It pretty much covers Wedding Photography Northampton related stuff.Come and have a look sometime :-)

well you have done yourself proud, I have to say I enjoyed your Blog, I have a Blog all about cat t shirtmy Blog is at http://www.blogger.com you can find out about my online retail store that sells cat tshirts.

[actual links replaced with blogger.com so the spammers don't get any hits!] Their aim is to generate traffic and increase a site's Google PageRank - pretty stupid, given Google have already changed their ranking system to prevent comment manipulation. But the spammers persist.

The word verifcation means you have to type in one of those sequences of letters written kind of wonkily inside an image - their aim is to filter out humans from spambots. However, if people find it too irritating/difficult/hassle to type each time, then we can take it off.

NB: All spam comments are being deleted permanently and as instantly as possible. If you have been confused by them, and clicked to some rubbish, spam site - all apologies and hopefully the verification will reduce this in future.
