under the influence of epoche
I recently installed the My Link Order Wordpress plugin for a new site I’m starting to put together for the East Asia Center, which enables me to manually order links in the sidebar without having to edit php files.
Can anyone recommend an effective anti-spam WP plugin? Spam on my sites is seriously getting out of control.
Here’s a list of available anti-spam plugins.
Looks like Akismet is the way to go…
Thanks Rudolf! I installed Spam Karma 2, and it seems a bit complicated. It even caught both of your messages, which seems odd to me. Anyway, I’ll uninstall and give Akismet a try, which looks much simpler.
I ended up leaving Spam Karma 2 installed and have found that it is working like a charm. I haven’t really needed to mess with all of the admin options.
Sorry, too geeky for me! (i.e. too time-consuming). What’s wrong with the existing option in WP? Anything that takes more than 2 minutes to figure out AND implement gets a failing grade in my book. I simply don’t have the time.

[...] After feeling a little put off by not being able to install the plugin through my own inability to understand how ftp is supposed to work, I read a blog of Aaron’s wherein he asked his readers if anyone knew of a good spam-fighting client, and a person named Rudolf responded giving a list of spam-fighting tools recomending Akismet. I asked him to upload it for me because ftp hurts my head, and he informed me that it was already uploaded–magic! But, he also mentioned, that I’d have to get an API code to activate it. So, one more hoop to jump through… I opened a blog account at wordpress.org and I was then e-mailed an API code which I used for my friends-world.org blog. I wonder if I needed to open that account at wordpress.org or not, but it doesn’t matter for me now. Hopefuly the spamming will stop! If it doesn’t, you’ll hear about it from me. Thank you, Aaron, for being such a big help on the matter. [...]
