BloggerForum Shut Down Due To Spam.....

It seemed to me like most all Blogs, whether you agree or not, are affiliated with "spam" or excess advertising that sometimes does not come wanted. After visiting a blogger forums website today to check up on what is going on in the world of blogs, I was confronted with the following message:
-----------------------------

Posting suspended

Posting has been suspended because of the amount of spam.

Folks, the real problems started when we passed 78% as the visitors here from India.

To hell with being politically correct at this point. Virtually all of our spam comes from India and China. There was never a problem before we hit a tipping point and most visitors started coming here for ways to make money.

There are many members from India who are productive and we value their contributions. However, that is just the way it is.

There is really no way to fight spammers who want to take the time to join, confirm their email address, manually enter the captcha symbols, and then manually post spam with 2 minute delays between posts. We put a higher value on human time then they do.

We will be back when and if a cure for this problem is found.

This is pretty ground breaking because it confronts an issue we all deal with on a daily basis. SPAM!!

Spam is extremely difficult to avoid, I get over 100 spam messages in my main e-mail account per day. Even more interesting is the fact that they shut down the website due to spam coming from a specified location. They tracked the spam coming from India and China! They claim they won't be coming back until a solution is found.

Could this become a new issue? Will websites be able to/or could they block users in certain locations from posting feedback?

Staying Up to Date

After browsing around the internet, I found out that Adobe has already released its fourth Creative Suite Package, which now contains the old Macromedia software as well.

Time really flies! When I first came to college, and when I last bought my Adobe software to use, it was four years ago and it was only the first Creative Suite. This tells me that Adobe has released a new package every year since. The question is, do these packages really make a difference?

If you have any input as to whether these packages show a drastic difference from the first, I encourage you to comment on this blog post, I would love to hear your feedback.

I like to stay up to date, but yet I am still a broke college kid!!

Blast from the Past

It is amazing with the networks that someone can create by doing webdesign.

When I was younger, and still learning a lot about webdesign, I played around on a chatroom network that used to host online radio stations with live DJ's with real prizes, and more. I joined up with one of these stations to do webdesign for them, which hasn't been around for the last 4 years of my college career. I was just recently approached by the old owner of the radio station about bringing the radio station's website back up.

The task will be somewhat entertaining because the integration of the website was worked on by myself and another much more experienced programmer.

I think it is good to become involved with other knowledgeable programmers in order to better yourself as a webdesigner. Learning from the best, is usually the motto I follow.

If this project ends up happening, I will keep this blog updated with the latest.

Complication of Web Maintenance

One of the hardest parts about webdesign is the maintenance of the job.

For some people, sitting behind a computer all day long can be an easy task. For others, however, it is extremely difficult. Distractions like friends, and a hectic work schedule can prevent someone from being motivated enough to dedicate away more of their day to designing websites.

Personally, I see myself as a fairly motivated individual but these problems have come my way quite often and they are not easy to get over.

Procrastination. Unfortunately, it is the word that haunts my life, but for someone who always gets things done despite time constraints, I've never known it to be any other way.

I have always told myself that I work best under pressure and through procrastination. I am not sure whether or not I am correct, but some people have asked me the following question a few times in the past:

"You say you work best under pressure, but are you doing the best job you can do?"

I usually do not have a response for this question, but if there is one thing I know I need to correct in the near future, it will be the habit of procrastination.

Continue checking back this blog for more updates on my procrastination habits, and possible solutions for getting your website updated frequently and often, and implementing better time management solutions into your workload.
