I do trust you. Really, I do.

The simple yet effective method I mentioned in my previous post is to include a hidden field in your form with a really obvious name like "subject." Then set up your script to ignore posts that have a value in that field. The bots will put something in there so you have an easy way to keep out the riff-raff, and not put the work on the visitor.

Again, thanks to Joe Song for the tip and to John Keston for admonishing me for not sharing this info the first time around.

As a side note, this is the first blog entry I have posted using my iPhone. I dig this little gadget. :)

I am a designer and web developer, a student of many things. Music, art, writing, you name it I will probably try it and probably do it pretty well. I graduated, with honors, in June 2007 from the Art Institutes International Minnesota with my Bachelor's degree in Interactive Media Design. I am now just going to move on into my career and continue to learn new things and hopefully pass what I have learned on to others.
