Using Akismet - spam guard

Tired of dealing with spam and unwanted comments? You have a new plugin in your backend administration that allows you to moderate spam and deal with comments.

Whilst in your admin area, click into the ‘Plugins’–> Installed area. The, you will see a plugin called Akismet. Click to activate it. You will then need to register for a wordpress API key and enter the key into the Akismet configuration page.

For many people, Akismet will greatly reduce or even completely eliminate the comment and trackback spam you get on your site. If one does happen to get through, simply mark it as “spam” on the moderation screen and Akismet will learn from the mistakes. If you don’t have a WordPress.com account yet, you can get one at WordPress.com.
