Loved checking my email this morning and seeing this comment submitted to one of my posts on this blog: Can you recommend a blog comment anti-span service? I’ve basically abandoned my blog because of all the comment spam. The comment…

The author of the article posted a video that demonstrates the attack: He further states in […]
