I was wandering around the shops the other day and cringed when I saw a Texas Holdem cap similar to this one for sale. Anyone who’s been blogging for some time will have unfortunately had run ins with spam from Mr T Holdem.
On second thought, the cap might be a fun gift to give to a guy like Darren.
I’m giving Akismet, the default spam plugin which ships with Wordpress 2.0 a go and hope I’ll find it as useful as Spam Karma is on my Wordpress 1.5.x blogs. It’s a little frustrating to set up however, as you have to create an account on Wordpress.com with a dummy blog just to get your API key. I’ll let you know how I get on with it.

It is al funny gift for sure. But im wondering if anybody thinks like that. Sometimes the spam can really drive you nuts. 6 months ago i had 2 gig bandwith misuse because of spam. I run another weblogtool that time, an it came more or less because of the referer option in Pivot. After disable this option it was quite. Now with WP, i dont have spam at al.

I don’t quite understand why they make us get the Wordpress.com blog … there has got to be an easier way. But I guess it is a nice statistic to have … 51,000 and counting (how many are inactive blogs only there so they can use Akismet?)
Great job on this site. I find the info useful.

I switch from spam karma to Akismet and it seems to work much better. Every once in a while something would sneek through with spam karma but Akismet really catches everything.
