Comments now need authentication (sorry!)
Due to the massive amounts of comment spam we've been getting, I've had to switch to requiring registration for comments. Please accept my apologies. I've sent Typepad (which hosts this blogs) many emails begging them to implement a simple human test so we wouldn't have to resort to this, to no avail.
To avoid registering, you can use the login I set up for "AnonymousCommenter"
login: carriemclaren
password: blogging
(in other words, any comments you submit under this login will show up as AnonymousCommenter)

Are you l00king for GR8 deals on C1alis and V1agra??!?!?!?! HALF-OFF!
Ok ok, just kidding!
Seriously: I use WordPress with Spam Karma 2 and I haven't had one false-positive or false-negative. I average about 200 spams per day among 5 legitimate comments. If you're ever looking to switch, give WP and SK2 a try.

Why not use a CAT - Cellular Authentication Token (www.megaas.co.nz) eAuthentication free service for allowing users to authenticate - without identification ?
