I hadn't given it any thought before, but yesterday I found out my blog was classified as a possible spam blog. Part of the criteria is a blog that prints a lot of nonsense. This one seemed to fit that category.

Sometimes what is written here only makes sense to a few local readers, and barely so. No one hates spam anymore than I do. Each day on one of my email addresses I delete thirty some useless emails. My site usually gathers from five to ten a day, sometimes more, and so on. So I fully understand why different measures are put in place to try to eliminate it.

I found out that my blog was put in this category because I tried an extension for Firefox called 'Performancing', which allows you to write to your blog from inside the browser. It wouldn't work because it was receiving an upload error. With a little investigation I found the problem to be as mentioned above. Any updates required a verification code to be typed in to prove it wasn't a machine driven burst.

It is easy to correct, you just have to fill out a form so they can look at it and see that it is not a spam blog. I mention that here because I tried out Performancing on three different computers and it didn't seem to work. Before blaming the software I decided to dig a little deeper, and I am glad I did, because it is very handy to be able to work from the browser. Performancing is a keeper.
