You *really* don't want to initialize session without any purpose until you're
not logged in. Moreover, it is possible to exploit you with a script, which will 
learn all your prepared images and will fill up your blog with a fortune's
comments.

Right. Therefore you *really* want to implement captcha feature in the CB.
The code would be (idea-only):


try:
    import PIL.Image
    CAPTCHA_ENABLE = 1
except ImportError:
    CAPTCHA_ENABLE = None



class COREBlog:

    ...

    def captchaEnable(self, **kw):
        """
        Return boolean of captcha feature availability.
        """

        return CAPTCHA_ENABLE


Then in DTML:

    <dtml-if captchaEnable>
      Use captcha feature: <input type="checkbox" name="use_captcha">
    <dtml-else>
      You need <a href="http://www.pythonware.com/">Python Image Library</a> 
      installed for captcha feature.
    </dtml-if>

I can implement it as a patch to CB and send it to you. No hero status is
needed. However, as much as I remember, you never answer my mails with 
suggestions about CB. :-)
