What I Learned Today...: Spam Hassles

  • Tyler Puckett · 2 years ago
    Do you use Akismet? It seems to be pretty good in terms of fighting spam, at least on my blog; I get a good amount of spam comments, but not too many legit comments, and Akismet is pretty good at catching the bad stuff. Also, are you running the latest version of WP? If you're not using 2.1.2, then you need to upgrade. The latest version has more security features that help block spammers.

    I am using Akismet & SpamKarma 2. I had to wait to finish my finals before upgrading to 2.1.2 - will get to it ASAP :)

    Thanks for the tips!
