CAPTCHAs

You may have noticed that we've modified our registration procedure. Now, along with the Blog's URL and the subscriber's email address, we require that the text from the included picture be entered as well.
You've probably seen such pictures before - they're called CAPTCHA's. Their purpose is to ensure that the person entering the information is, in fact, a person, and not a computer. Why would a computer want to subscribe to a blog? Well, it wouldn't - but it might want to try using our service for other, less savory, purposes.
It's a shame that such efforts are necessary, and we apologize for the little extra inconvenience, but it helps to ensure that our service remains as open and useful as possible.
