Add CAPTCHA to Your BlogEngine.NET Installation - Reduce SPAM!
Sunday, January 24, 2010

UPDATE 01.31.2010:  The latest release of BlogEngine.NET (2.0) addresses a number of spam-related issues and includes some of it's own CAPTCHA-type options, including reCaptcha.

UPDATE 02.21.2010:  Michael's post was updated to include a minor tweak required for BlogEngine 1.6 support.

no-spamI’ve gotten a fair amount of attention regarding a post which details ways to reduce SPAM within your BlogEngine installation.  Yesterday, I received a comment from Michael Ceranski about a his adaptation of a CAPTCHA implementation. 

I’ve installed it here, and it seems to work quite nicely.  A well-done and seamless integration within the AJAX commenting system BlogEngine employs.

Nicely done, and THANKS!

I've been reading a bit about this and would like to know first hand how you like it.  Are people still getting thru? I have a blog and I'm just tired of having to moderate it all the time!

Very happy with it, Kim.  Sure, some still get through...but after a bit of time BE learns who the good/bad ones are and my efforts to put mark them as SPAM are reduced.

Hey Shahid,

I just followed the instructions on Mike's site.  Additionally, though, the latest version of BlogEngine has Captcha built in...so you might want to check that out.

Cheers,
AL

Just wanted to say that I implemented this on my company's blog and it works flawlessly. I haven't seen a single spam go pass the blog yet. Thanks.
