Introducing the Page Break!!

I didn't want to do this, and add an extra step to your reading, so I hope you don't mind too much... But I'm installing Page Breaks in my posts from now on. There will be a little link at the bottom that says "Onward!" and it will take you to the full post. I'm getting a ridiculous amount of spam comments, and I've heard this helps. If anyone has any other ideas on how to block spam comments, I'd love to hear them!

  1. Spam bots stink, yup. There is something you can do to reduce it though, I already added it for you. It requires people who are commenting to fill out the CAPTCHA word verification (that box with the random letters you have to type) to verify that the poster is human. It should help reduce spammage. I'll admit, I like the pagebreaks, it lets us see more posts on your page and reduces the overall word impact, so feels like it flows better.

    Anyhoo, hope that helps!

    1. I took that off, it's such a pain. I want people to be able to comment! I've been thinking about making it for registered users only, but I know I've gotten real comments from Anonymous people before, and I don't want to shut out real readers! Such a conundrum...

  2. My english are terrible, but you can select comments only for followers!
