Spam, lovely spam


Ok, I’ve had to disable comments on the IE7 for linux post, the amount of spam that’s coming through is quite insane. Today there were 149 spam comments in my moderation queue. This site alone is eating up a large chunk of bandwidth on my host, I think (note: think) that it’s due to the repeated hits and abuse from spam bots. I’m going to start looking at blocking hosts in my .htaccess file, but I am not optimistic about it.

If anyone has any suggestions, please comment and let me know. Remember though, I want to deny spambots access to the site completely, so a Wordpress plug-in probably isn’t what I’m looking for.

There’ll be some new articles and tutorials soon, once I have a free minute!

    Signup for a wordpress.com blog so that you can get a Akismet API key. That is the best way to get rid of spam. The API key costs like $50 / yr if your site makes more than $500 / month. I think…
