Important - Please Read

Due to a huge number of spammy sites trying to sign up for this blog ring, I have decided to put the use of Ringsurf on hold and using the blog as the main sign up point. So, would you all mind terribly if I ask you to change the code on your blogs to the alternative (with the nifty button designed by Joss) you can find that here. It's a plain text file, and you simply need to copy the contents and paste them into your blog.

I'm sorry to be a nuisance, but the number of spammy applications has become a real problem - I have just returned from holiday to find dozens of them - obviously I can't assume all are dodgy and must examine each one which takes time. If we only accept sign ups via the blog, the number of bots, spammers etc can be kept to a minimum.

Thank you :-)

ps: some of the spammy applications are easy to weed out, for example the person who gave their name as 'Sofa Covers' I don't know, maybe there is a Mr and Mrs Covers who thought it was a good idea to call their offspring Sofa, but I doubt it LOL
