spam comments

revisited my blog today. I set it up a few months ago but been too busy to go back to it. Forgot that I have compiled a couple of test pages and published them just to see how they looked on other PCs. Theres LOADS of spam comments on the posts. all web links to loan and gambling sites. Ive deleted them now but how do i stop them coming back? If theres a disable comments option i could use that as it will be ages before its anything like ready to publish but once its up and running I would like readers to comment on it

Have you got comment moderation turned on in the settings? That way the comments don't get published until you OK them.

I use Akismet.

It really does the job well. I've had 158 spam comments in the last 2 weeks all blocked. Anything older than that gets deleted.

Think Akismet has blocked about 50,000 spam comments on mine. Definitely install it rather than just moderating comments

Thanks, installed it and booted the spam out
