My CAPTCHA plugin choice for your WordPress blog
I really don’t know why, but recently my GMail account and my WordPress blog have been literally jammed with spam mail coming from Russia and the other ex Soviet republics. That event triggered me to start looking for a good WordPress CAPTCHA plugin and today I am happy to announce - I’ve found exactly what I have been looking for.
But first, for the uninformed. From Wikipedia: A CAPTCHA or Captcha (IPA: /ˈkæptʃə/) is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to ensure that the response is not generated by a computer.
Introducing SI CAPTCHA!
The following list is just a part of the features the developer claims:
- Configure from Admin panel
- XHTML Compliant
- JavaScript is not required
- Allows Trackbacks and Pingbacks
- Setting to hide the CAPTCHA from logged in users and or admins
- Setting to show the CAPTCHA on the comment form, registration form, or both
- I18n language translation support
I’ve been using the script for two weeks now and I can happily announce that spam messages declined from an average of 50 a day, to one big zero ! 
I won’t put any screenshots for the plugin, simply because I have it activated here at dogon.biz, so please, press page down and play with it freely.
I recommend any WordPress blog owner to download the plugin and give it a try. I’m sure that it will make his blog administration days much easyer. As for the Russian spam in my GMail account problem…well, I’m hoping that Google will add a Russian dictionary filter with cyrillic support soon enough.
