Why Testing Everything is Important
Tags: Blog Spam
So this blog is being targeted by spammers to advertise their products. I don't get a lot of comments, so I made the default ACL "Readers" to stop the spam overnight and moved on to the next thing on my Agenda.
I did not bother to test the blog by creating a comment because I knew it would work. Until it didn't.
Moral of the story: Make changes and test them, or as a customer told me on my first week as a consultant:
Don't expect it if you don't inspect it.
Still good advice today.
Below is what I saw this morning.
