prevent email spam by using an image email address

2008 Jul 18
I hate spam and its everywhere, in the forums, in my comments, emails, and even in blog posts. Email spam is so hard to stop if you don't have a good spam blocker. Once your in, there's no going back. I don't recommend you clicking on the link that says 'click here to unsubscribe' because it only confirms that the email address you are using is indeed active which results to more spam.

The most efficient way to battle spam is to avoid them. Don't got to p0rn site, sites that offer pirated software or any illegal stuff. another way is to change your email link into an image. In that way automated programs that harvests email address may not be able to pick it up. A web site that provides an image for your email address called email icon generator might be useful for you. See some samples below

... how were you able to get Feedburner to integrate with your MT 4 Blog? I'm having a hard time finding documentation/plug-ins anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

Well, your comment really is irrelevant to my post but ill answer it. You'll need to edit your Syndication widget and add the this line:



  • Subscribe to feed
    Feed Burner


  • You'll need to replace the URL with your own. You can also paste the code generated from the FeedBurner just below the mt:if line to show the number readers. Unfortunately, currently have none, that's really depressing I might eventually remove it.
