I have just installed a plugin… namely “SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam”… and the main reason is because I have been receiving quite a number of “Escort Service” comments lately. I mean come on… this site barely has visitors enough to fill up a car… and there are people out there trying to spam this blog with “Escort Service” comments.

Fortunately, there is Akismet plugin in the first place where I filter out the comments prior to publish them to the blog. However, as the numbers of these spam comments getting more… ok… it’s time for Captcha… because I accidentally deleted one of the real comments together with the spam.

In case there are still people out there who don’t know what Captcha is… well… just Wiki it out… you will get enough explanation for that. In short, Captcha can help to prevent spam… especially those bots.

There are several plugins serve the similar function… but I have chosen this one (refer to the name in the first paragraph)… since it works… and it doesn’t need and API key. I have not installed any plugin for users’ registration as of now (well… the page views for this blog is still pretty low)… but the Captcha will be hidden if the commenter is a registered user.

Talk about registered users… I have big plans for Biz-e-Body and I want to make it as big as possible… but I still couldn’t find the widget that allows people to register for this blog. Well… it’s still early as the visitors to this site barely hit two figures per day (yup… the traffic is that low at the time of this post).

Anyway… back to this “SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam”, I have already tested it once (yup… only once)… and since it works, I will leave it as it is for now. If any one of you out there is interested to installed this plug in… I have already linked it out here or u can click on the plugin’s name mentioned above. Download, install and test it… do feedback if you find any bug in the plugin in.

Oh… by the way, I use WP version 2.8.6… and the test was done with IE8 only… not too sure if it will work with other browsers… or the older versions of IE. Ciao for now.
