In an interesting twist, the blog spammers seem to have found out a sure fire way to get their message across. By posting comments with random “words” (read: bunch of letters) with the URL they want us all to go to in the URL field. This gets it past Akismet no problems. Hey ho.

So, unfortunately for all you real people that post comments you have one extra form field to fill out. I’ve added reCAPTCHA which will give you two words that you must decipher and your effort in filling in the boxes means you help books to be digitised. I dislike the use of tools that break the user experience, but unfortunately (at least in the mean time) this will have to do and at least it has some other purpose than to just annoy you.
