Due to the fact that the spammers seem very persistent, and the lack of time I have to work on my site at the moment, I’ve completely disabled the comments system. This is unfortunate as I did enjoy reading the few comments I got from those who read my site. :o(
In a few weeks I’ll look at maybe using something ‘off-the-shelf’ such as Wordpress or building a whole new site under Rails. Building a new one under Rails would be a good learning experience, and should help to satisfy my new found enthusiasm for Rails. Also it’ll mean I can add lots of new features to the site, such as Textile formatting as opposed to the current rather clunky BBCode formatting. :o)
