Trying comments

Posted by Mike on January 2nd, 2007

People keep bugging me to enable comments on my blog, so I’ve decided to give it a whirl. My biggest problem with comments has been the spam issues, but I’m going to try the Akismet plugin for wordpress and see how that goes.

If I get frustrated with moderation then I’ll disable comments, but for now let the discussion begin!

    I’ve found the following solution to be very effective:

    1. Bad Behaviour
    2. Spam Karma 2 with the Akismet plugin
    3. Disable Akismet that is bundled with Wordpress.

    Simple and very effective. I’ve even managed to turn off the Captcha that was so necessary for such a long time.

    Regards
