Lately my blog have been bombarded with spam from bot nets. As with all kinds of spam this become quite a time waster of cleaning up the comment section on each and every post.

It was not more than a day that I found the already installed but disabled Akismet plugin. This plugin uses a central database to monitor comments from Wordpress blogs all over the world and will know immediately know when comments that are posted can be classified as spam. I know this made a world’s difference.
