Just a quick comment about the Comments feature (again). Previously, when a user posted a comment, the comment they just posted was not immediately displayed. Instead, a message indicated to the user that the message would have to be reviewed first before being posted in order to prevent spam.

This is a valid threat, by the way. The Guest Book page is literally inundated with spam messages. Every day. At least two or three an hour. And, as you can imagine, keeping up with and deleting all that spam has proved to be tedious and tiresome. As such, I have provisions in place that has greatly reduced the amount of spam I receive in the Guest Book. Now it is down to just a couple of spam messages a week.

Back to the Comments feature, after entering a comment, the user had to wait until I got around to reviewing the post and then "approving" it. Actually, whenever a Comment is left by a user, I get a text message on my iPhone -- I can then "approve" the message from my iPhone wherever I happen to be (pretty cool, eh?). However, after 6 months of this, I have noticed: spam is NEVER posted to an article. It may be posted to the Guest Book all the time, but never to an article (or map or whatever).

So, I am happy to say that I have lifted the "quarantine" stage of Comments -- that is, when a user enters a Comment for a page and clicks "Save", the Comment is immediately posted and visible on the page. No more waiting! (This does not apply to the Guest Book, unfortunately, as I still have to approve those messages.) So again, I implore you to post Comments, my dear visitors!
