An alternative (which works quiet well with my blog): |
| 15 |
have an empty css-hidden input field in the form and check for it being |
| 16 |
empty when submitting the form. Bots will fill it out since they ignore |
| 17 |
CSS mostly. |
| 18 |
Advantage: it's hidden for all users and for those where it isn't |
| 19 |
(Screen-Readers) you can add a normally hidden description stating this |
| 20 |
is a spam-catching-field intentionally left blank. |
