Combating “Comment Spam” Part I
Posted by fcstech on March 7th, 2008
At Fruitport we are having an issue with comment spam on our blogs. To combat this, I have installed the Askimet spam plug-in. It seems to be working well.
The first step is to download and install the plug in. You can get it by going here: http://akismet.com/download/
Next, you need to copy this file into the plugins folder found in your wp-content folder. Remember to activate the plugin before you tell your staff about it.
Once that is complete, you can check out the next post for information on how to release it to your staff.
