I have been on an upgrading kick recently and after upgrading our private forums I decided to go ahead and update this site to <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/\">Wordpress 2.2<\/a>. One of the nice features of 2.1 and above is that they include the <a href=\"http:\/\/akismet.com\/\">Akismet plugin<\/a> bundled with the install. I have received almost 200 spam comments a day, if not more, for months now. It&#8217;s not really a big deal except that I get thousands of emails requesting moderation as a result. Also once every few months I have to go in and clear out 10,000+ comments. Finally in the event that anyone does comment (yeah right) I might miss it as a legitimate comment.<\/p>\n<p>This is what Akismet does. It filters out bogus comments (spam) and doesn&#8217;t even post them to moderation. It also auto-deletes everything after 15 days so I don&#8217;t even need to manually remove them anymore. So go ahead spammers. Comment spam away, because Akismet is on the job making sure I don&#8217;t even know you exist anymore. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I finally got around to upgrading from Wordpress 2.0.
