Switching to Moderated Comments
Permalink |
Ok, the comment spam is getting a bit more thick, so my short-term solution is to moderate comments. If you do comment, it might take a couple of days before I get around to allowing it — I don’t check the comments to be moderated everyday.
In the long term, there are lots of solutions to comment spam. One of these days I’ll get around to figuring out which one is best. In the meantime, comments will have some latency.

Hey yo,
Jeremy, Chad and many of the bloggers at the hoo swear by Akismet, which is a wordpress plugin to block spam. Chad says it’s very near 100% perfect - he hasn’t seen a mistake in months.

I’d love to use Akismet, but you need an API key from Wordpress.com. I put my email address in at Wordpress.com, so I should hear back from them… maybe sometime next year?? I guess Akismet is trying to limit usage or is in alpha (the new beta).
