Holy crap make the spam stop

So I guess now that this site has started to get a little traffic for some unknown reason, it’s climbing up a few charts and search engines… and a few spam bot lists too. Over the past 15 days, I’ve probably gotten over 10 emails day with spam bot comments. I guess over the next week or two I’ll be testing some of the anti-spam WordPress plugins and I’ll let y’all know which ones are worth grabbing. I’m actually using a few already including a recaptcha plugin but damned if it doesn’t stop the bots. If anyone has any recommendations, I’m all ears.

Anyway, as for actual posts related to what I’d like to converse on this site, I’ve been swamped with work and personal life but I hope to pick up speed. Ooh.. and on a sidenote, go Mississippi State Bulldogs with the big win over Vanderbilt this weekend

UPDATE: Well, I’m already using the top plugins for comment spam blocking so i decided to spend and hour or two adding words to the Spam Filter and so far so good…

UPDATE #2: Although I’ve got some custom things in place, here’s an excellent post at Speckboy which gives me a few plugins to try out to get ahead of the spammers.
