Comment spam

Well, this blog has started getting more and more comment spam recently that I've had to moderate, so I finally got around to installing Akismet. Akismet is a service/plug-in for WordPress that is meant to combat comment spam by maintaining a databse of the latest spam techniques and comparing your blog comments against it to see whether they're dodgy or not. Hopefully it'll be effective and I can get back to being intrigued whenever the "Please moderate" emails arrive again, rather than groaning at the potential of another spam comment to deal with. Anyway, if you make a legit comment that my new-fangled spam detection incorrectly decides must be spam, get in touch and I'll try to recover it.
