Comments are now fixed on my blogs, using reCaptcha for antispam
I have finally now fixed the commenting system here (and in my other blogs too).
Well, it was sort of working before, but in a retarded way. You had to log in or register. And sometimes it looked like you were logged in, but you actually weren’t.
It’s friendlier now. You can enter as much or as little detail as you want when commenting. You can be anonymous for all I care. The only thing you need to do is to solve a reCaptcha challenge when commenting. reCaptcha is an antispam system from none other than Carnegie Mellon, where you help digitize old books by solving the challenges. And it keeps spam out of here too.
For someone like me claiming to know a little something about usability, it was ironic that I had such a bad comment system. I guess it’s another instance of “shoemaker’s shoes” situation. But it didn’t bother me that much and no one really complained. Until today, that is, where Z pointed it out.
