Akismet

Dont ask me how to pronouce it, or even what it means. But it sure does seem to do the job.

I typically get a lot of spam comments here on the blog, its why I have comment approval enabled. But after having to go through and purge over 1,000 comments the other day I decided it was time to get proactive about this problem and I configured the Akismet plugin for Wordpress.

Two days later… I still haven’t had to delete a single spam comment and as of this post Akismet has blocked 17 comments. Granted its still pretty early to draw any serious conclusions, but so far I’m satisfied. I may even be able to loosen my rules on commenting so that the comments you make will show up when you make them, instead of when I realized you made them and approve them.
