Akismet for Comment Spam
Permalink |I recently updated my WordPress install to 2.whatever which allowed me to set up the built-in “Akismet”:1 plug-in to control commnet spam. To get it running, all I had to do was sign up for a WordPress.com account, copy the Akismet key that WordPress.com gives you and plug that into WordPress.
So far so good. Only a couple of comment spams have made it into my moderation queue, which makes comments much more manageable.
