Every once in a while I like to publish articles. It's fun and lets me relax while doing something productive. Site Reference published and article that I recently wrote for them: http://www.site-reference.com/articles/Website-Development/4-Methods-to-Protect-Email.html - 4 Methods to Protect Email . Anyways, I'm sure that a few of the gang here at WWG might like to look into publishing articles for fun. Just my $0.02 worth of encouragement. Cheers, Ryan ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

I've got another original article coming out in the http://www.oisv.com/ - OISV when it launches. The article in on SEO and usability. It's not something that I really wanted to publish as it's some non-obvious stuff that I've never seen anywhere else before, but is basically just common sense. I've been keeping it a "secret". But since the site is private and not open to everyone, as well as being started by some friends of mine, I figured I'd put out some of the 'good-stuff'. The amazing thing is that I've never read it anywhere else before, and I've read a LOT on SEO. It seems to me like a lot of SEO gurus look to find holes or maximize ratios instead of doing some decent clean SEO with solid tactics that are meant to be friendly for users. ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

I've never been a fan of the unicode encoding method - they already search for characters and strings. How hard is it to search for the unicode for those char/strings? The javascript method that changes when you mouse over is clever. Never tried anything like that. Ultimately however, for me, adding mail capability to a site is just another task that I need to complete quickly and then move on. Most of my clients like the "custom" look and feel of a form. I have a canned email form system that takes 5-10 minutes to set up. Most of my forms get tested by spammers once or twice a month to see if they can be used as a relay but since I started using Bruce's CAPTCHA on the forms, they stoppped doing that. -------------

Forms are good, and certainly much slicker than an email link, but the thing I don't like about them is that invariably you end up getting someone who mistypes their email address, which makes it hard to respond. I do like the CAPTCHA idea though. ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |
