Avoiding Blog Spammers.

I’ve now setup and configured Akismet, Cookies for Comments and Simple Trackback Validation. These plug-ins should help prevent spam getting through.

This has been a learning experience. I hope this will help you avoid the problem in the first place. I have just heard of a couple of blog owners who were spammed so badly that they had to completely take down their sites and start from scratch. I’m grateful that I caught the problem early.
