I’ve pretty much all but decided that I will not be working with Textpattern anymore. It seems too much work when Wordpress does most of what I want so easily. However, I still have one website that is running on a custom Textpattern backend, so once in a while I need solutions geared towards Textpattern. Today I found a great little nugget that I hope will help others.

I love blogs. I love setting them up. I especially love to see a blog I’ve setup for someone get used. About the only thing I really don’t love about blogs is the comment spam. To get 4 or 5 emails with the same generic spam is just annoying…and my friend Garret agrees. So when he called me for help in adding some stricter monitoring of comments for his blog, I was delighted to find reCAPTCHA.
