We use WordPress to run our blog and we’ve only recently launched it (maybe 1.5 months ago). I logged into the administration section of WordPress and found 500+ comments and thought to myself WOW.
I did end up saying “WOW”, except it was for the sheer number of spam comments instead of legitimate comments.
Knowing that WordPress is a very popular blogging script, I set out to search a solution to this problem on Google. Here’s what I searched for: wordpress comment spam plugin, and I found: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Akismet. I love Google!
I followed the instructions, and installed Akismet. Clicked on the Filter Spam and BAM! All the spam was gone. I haven’t seen any spam since. So, if you’re running a WordPress blog and have comment spam, I suggest installing Akismet!
