security measures
I don’t know if you guys have noticed but I’ve been getting a lot of spammy type comments, so I’ve had to turn on all my comment moderations so that they go through me… Unfortunately WordPress doesn’t have a “captcha” feature that I can find or I’d turn that on too. I hope you guys still comment!!
Thanks for reading the pure interest. Lots of work to do today!!
I'd love it if you subscribed to my RSS feed.

Here are some CAPTCHA plug-ins for WordPress: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Spam_Tools#CAPTCHA
I also use Akismet on my site and ErieBlogs.com and it does a nice job: http://akismet.com/

I’ve been getting a lot too, and I host my own WordPress blog. It’s weird. I have Akismet and a pretty cool feature called Comment Timeout, after a while older posts people can’t comment on. But even with those I’m still getting some spam:(

WordPress does have captcha plug-ins. I have never been able to get them to work though… it requires a download, uploading it into your plug-in directory, and activation through the plug-in menu.

I had the same thing start happening a while ago which is why I turned on the stupid captcha that I hate! But we all understand–spam sucks!

One word: Akismet.
Mike already said this, but it’s true. Akismet catches virtually everything and integrates seamlessly with wordpress.
