of course it is, but it has a down side - your readers won't be able to comment! > And if I use Akismet and/or captcha, will it be better? much. > And how do I delete the 5850 or so spam comments? Akismet will do it for you. > If it takes me 3 seconds to delete each comment, it's still 5 hours! that's a job for the electronic turk then, not the mechanical one :-) > By the way, how do I install captcha on Wordpress? no idea, I didn't want to lose the few readers I have left so I never installed one, but I'm sure google will send you to the plugins you need. another option is making them create a user on your WP before posting, that's very reasonable, they log in once and keep a cookie. another option is OpenID as an alternative to registering (another plug-in) I don't bother with any of them at the moment. anyone can post and Akismet is doing a 99.999% perfect job. I wish Spamassassin was this good. -- Mutant shapeshifter Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
