The Almighty Askimet Plugin
Spam comments. How annoying! just a quick post to remind all you newbie bloggers about Askimet; comes automatically with WordPress and stops about 98% of all spam. The odd stuff slips through, but it stops THE MAJORITY.
Digg this!
to support the fight against spam! 
Any bloggers who haven’t got this beauty activated, should have! it’s saved me from nearly 2,000 spam comments so far. Imagine how annoying it would have been having to plow through each day and pick them out myself!
Poor SPAM, it never stood a chance once Askimet came along!
