3 Spam Comments!

I normally login to my admin site to find “Spam: 3,472” comments (or some such other high and random number!!).

I’ve always like the idea of Akismet, group filtering etc. However I spotted some of the comments over at the WP-SpamFree plugin page and decided I’d got nothing to lose (other than a lot of time wasted looking at comment spam!

Installed earlier in the week and 3 days later I have JUST 3 Spam comments…
