Spam comments and how you can avoid to let them come through

Dennis

While Akismet does work already pretty good as a blog spam comment filter, it is sometimes necessary to drop some spam comments manually into the wordpress spam folder, so that Akismet can learn about new spam to filter out spam comment even better in the future. I´d say that Akismet can already filter out 95% of the junk comments but there are always some comments coming through, which I would call the 5% of the new blog spammers who are not in the list of Akismet´s database yet.

Blogging Rules are meant to be broken.

Dennis

I noticed I have broken nearly every blogging rule I ever did read about. Yes. I´ve seen blogs which wrote about these Blogging Rules. Stuff like… – Good bloggers post every day… I broke this rule. Why? I only want to write if I feel to do so. Only if I mean I come up with an interesting topic. – Good bloggers keep posts short… I often broke this rule. Why? I am not exactly sure. I write so much I have to tell. – Good bloggers set their own goals and have a schedule… Really? Then I probably broke … Continue reading Blogging Rules are meant to be broken.
