Goodbye, spam!
I just installed the Akismet plugin because my inbox was getting slammed with somewhere around 10 emails per day asking me to approve comments. All of them were spam, of course. Akismet as been extremely useful on my own blog. In fact, not a single comment or trackback spam has made it through, so I expect it to perform well.
Now I’m looking into various “location” plugins that would allow you to include a map or something showing where you’re blogging from. Reply with any suggestions or requests for other plugins!
