Welcome to /c/blogging!

This is a community for posting interesting, insightful, or even personal blog posts. You can advertise your own blog, or share other blog posts you find interesting.

Since this is the programming instance, expect many posts to be related to computer science. General blogs are still welcome as well!

Rules:

Don't be rude. Duh.
Don't spam your own blog. Try to limit self-promotion to only once or twice per week.

Looking to start your own blog? Check out Bearblog, Write.as, WordPress (which you can host yourself as well).

If you're tech-savvy, check out Hugo!

Prevent newsletter signup spam + how my newsletter got spammed (4rkal.com)

Ever wake up to 200 new newsletter signups and think “Wow, I finally made it!”

Yeah… me too. Until I realized none of them verified their email addresses. Not a single one.

My newsletters got spammed a couple of months ago, so I decided to write an article about:

What this is

Why it’s happening

How to stop it

If you’ve got a newsletter or any kind of public form on your site, this might save you a headache down the line.

Hope it helps!
