After the KillaCycle video went live my blog was receiving tons more spam then before, it got to the point that i even turned off comments until i could work on getting a system implemented to block the spam. With a search on Google it turns out that there was already a Free service that does just what i wanted for WordPress, Called Akismet. Akismet is a free service that works by downloading a plug-in and getting a Free account at WordPress.com.

Once the plug-in is installed and configured it will quarantine the spam and only allow non-spam to be posted, I can then go back and verify that the spam is really spam but so far there have been no false positives and has stopped all the spam from making it’s way though to the site.

Here is a shoot showing that there have been 30 legitimate comments and 72 spam comments as the time of writing this.
