I’m sick and tired of all the useless non-sense that goes into blog comment spam. I know it’s getting harder and harder to bypass all the crazy filters and steps needed to post a legitimate comment on a popular site but when does the madness stop? I’m actually a bit entertained by the useless randomness that makes up most blog spam these days, although deleting each rouge comment is becoming a pain.
To help lighten the work load I have with deleting unapproved spam-related comments, I’ve put into effect a simple spam prevention method that I hope works out well. It’s clean, neat, and doesn’t require you to read a bunch of funny text. I hate that! This one is strictly geek — based on simple math.
You can do simple math, right?

I’m using WordPress to power this blog with my own custom design. WordPress is a content management system that gives me a lot of features that I just make look pretty, such as the ability to leave comments. The spam protection is an add-on that works with WordPress.
WordPress is a free download at wordpress.org and it’s very easy to install and use.
