I also like that you've sprinkled in some green.<br /><br />I hear you about the spam. It can really be unbelievable how much spam comes through. I filter for about 50 words & that's good enough to catch 30-40 spams a day. I moderate the rest and still end up deleting another 30-40 spams. I have no idea what my view counts are, I just gauge interest in my blogs by how many real comments come through.<br /><br />GregThe Industrial Leadhttp://www.gregamer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723635728039107400.post-60899882461637453602013-04-30T11:00:35.561-07:002013-04-30T11:00:35.561-07:00John - I too really enjoy your blog (a real human ...John - I too really enjoy your blog (a real human when I last looked :-)). I have a layout in my basement that I haven't touched in months due to work pressures. Its nice to see others making progress at least.Rangachari Anandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026409205967435473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723635728039107400.post-23193991529915754482013-04-29T09:43:26.062-07:002013-04-29T09:43:26.062-07:00Thanks for the note, Trevor--nice to get a comment...Thanks for the note, Trevor--nice to get a comment from a real human being! The robot comments never make it through to get published, so there's no need for a CAPTCHA. They get marked as spam immediately, and go straight to my spam box. What bugs me is knowing that the comments artificially inflate my view count. Oh, well . . .

I installed a CAPTCHA program which worked for a while, but even that is failing to stop the robots these days. I too moderate comments on my blog, so like you I spend a lot of time marking them as spam and flushing them. That's all you can do for now, so keep at it and good luck until a stronger CAPTCHA comes along...<br />- Trevor @ The Model Railway ShowTrevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860331796911162859noreply@blogger.com
