  Please support me in the 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer - last year we were able to raise $6.9 million for the Alberta Cancer Foundation - hopefully we can raise even more in 2010!

Wordpress, out of the box, is pretty decent at avoiding spam. It could be better, and there are a few plugins that will help:

3 Strikes Spam Prevention Plugin – Kinda like an email spam filter, calculating “spam scores” for new comments, and killing ones that pass a threshold.

Kitten’s Spam Words 2.0 – kinda like MT-Blacklist, but better integrated into Wordpress.

I’ve added both, and it will be interesting to see how successful they are…

UPDATE: I just tried adding some comments to make sure good stuff got through, and bad stuff didn’t. When attempting to add some spam, I was redirected to the FBI website. That’s perfect, AND funny! Thanks, Three Strikes for Spam!!!
