Blogspot is down and blog friend Manuel alludes to the uncontrollable invasion of comment spam among some Pinoy blogs.
This site has not been immune from comment spam too, but what’s a tech idiot like me supposed to do when harangued by “penis enlargement pills” on my dashboard? Even now as I write, I am besieged with strange names like Jousson Hgkan, Maximilian Zierer, Sabine List, Olivia Raga and what have you. It’s either I install a password system or turn off comments like what most people are doing.
All these hassles make me wonder if the great WWW is out to drive all bloggers to extinction.

Just enable Registration by anyone and require registration and logging in to post a comment. Settings are found inside WP Admin -> Options.

Thanks for the tip Yuga. I wonder which is better – this one or the anti-spam plug-in. i’ll probably have to activate either one tomorrow.
Baka naman totoong tao si RennyBA Owen becoz spam commenters usually don’t mention your name, only “your blog is great” and other stuff. howell, whatever… regards friend:smile:
