So I had trouble figuring out how to activate the Akismet filters on my WordPress blog, because I could not find my own API Key – turns out you must register a WordPress.com blog to get that key.
This became more important recently because the amount of spam commentary showing up on my blog was increasing dramatically the last few days. We’ll see how well Akismet filters now.

Actually, Akismet & WordPress works incredibly well. I’ve had 1-2 false positives, and maybe one false negative since I installed it over a month ago. In that time Akismet has caught approximately 900 spam comments.
So far it is working slendidly, only one false positive and a few hundred correct rejections. Nice! Wish I’d done it sooner.
BTW – very glad to find out about your own blog, Sandro – miss you bunches. How is Maryland? Don’t answer here – I’ll just read online now.
