If you need to contact me, there’s an email address in the source files, or you can use my domain-at-gmail address — I’m turning off comments for now…

UPDATE: activated akismet… we’ll see how it goes

    Dude, I wonder how were you managing without use of Aksimet! When WordPress installation goes public, use of that little plugin seem to be absolutely necessary =)

    However, for more popular websites use of Aksimet may be not enough to survive. But when it comes to WordPress, there should be one great option hidden somewhere in your dashboard, and you know what – actually you can make all the comments that contain more than one single hypertext link go straight to the moderation queue with that option. Somehow I find it very helpful.

    I have no idea either… It should be activated by default.

    With the use the system I use on my blog, no SPAM on comments ever! Very proud of myself :) And it’s a snap to enter.

    Yes Askimet should really be set to default but I think the “Automattic” boys have something in their sleeves .
    @Tin – Man I was staring 10 sek at that Math situation ,shame on me lol.

    wow!! I didn’t know that Askimet exists, until now I was using IP blacklist, sometimes is annoying copying and pasting bad IPs, but hey, I have less viagra posts :) I’m very happy that Askimet exists also for ExpressionEngine, so I will give him a try :)
