Keys Corner

The above picture is of my blog admin interface some 12 hours after I last deleted the spam comments that had been entered, linking to dubious web sites selling all manner of things. One hundred spam comments in 12 hours, which have been blocked from ever being entered on the blog and which I can delete from the review/approval queue with one single click (and which are automatically deleted, if I’m on holiday, after 15 days). The spam management system, Akismet, is a free service for WordPress blogs and hasn’t let through a single spam message since I activated it 1800 spam messages (or about 2 months) ago.

The amount of spam which even this insignificant blog attracts has been increasing steadily over the last months, so I am glad to have a service like Akismet taking care of it for me.
