Heads UP re: Anti-SPAM

FCL is getting increasingly targeted with site registration bots that attempt to register as FCL users to enable the nefarious things spammers do.

As a countermeasure, I just installed and enabled the Google Invisible reCaptcha API that protects FCL user registration and other forms from automated spammer attacks.

If you complete the FCL user registration form (below, right) and experience any sort of problems with the registration process … and YOU are a HUMAN … then please send me an email outlining your registration attempt (e.g. name, user name, email address) and I’ll fix things on the back end.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

SPAMMERS SUCK!

User Registration Fixed (with a Caveat)

Got the user registration bug fixed.  Below, in the lower-right of this page, you should see a Registration form.  Fill it out, click the submit button, and once I approve your request, you’re in!
What you DON’T want to do is click on the Login link (below, right) and click in the “Register” link on the bottom of the login page.  I fixed the issue of that mechanism rejecting registration requests as a ‘Suspected Bot’ … but the registration form below is a much cleaner process, which I’ve tested, and it works!  😉
Welcome aboard …

User Registration SNAFU

Hello!

Just a quick note to let you know that until further notice, the user registration feature of this blog is broken.  I need a few days to get caught up on other projects, then I’ll invest the time to get the registration feature fixed.

Once the fix is completed, tested and verifiably WORKING … I’ll post another update announcing the feature fix.

Hasta.

New FCL Blog Launch!

Hello all … whoever you are.

As an alternative to Facebook (hate it) and YouTube (too video centric), I’ve decided to launch my own personal blog, which you’re viewing here, called www.FineCountryLiving.com.

With this blog, I’ll update those interested in the various projects we’ve got going here on ‘the farm.’  In addition to project updates, I plan to also share any other content I deem to be appropriate to the ‘channel.’  What does that mean?  Simple … anything I think relevant to … Fine Country Living.

I’m going to make EVERY attempt to avoid posting anything purely political, or overly inflammatory in nature.  But, I’m certainly liable to post thoughts, ideas, observations or concerns I might have — or develop — on any given day.

My overarching goal is allow interested people to ‘opt in’ to being kept up-to-speed with what we’re doing here in Efland, NC, and to share any wisdom we may accrue as we plod along our day-to-day learning curve as it relates to our farming, livestock and permaculture-related work.

More to follow, once I get the blog infrastructure built up a bit more, and fleshed out.  I have a lot of WordPress learning to do in order design this site to reflect my vision, personality and visual style.

Peace.  Out.  😉
