When I started this blog, I really didn't think I would need any comment spam prevention. I have also never liked the idea of having to moderate/approve comments manually (smells like work).

However, after about three days on the interwebs, I decided otherwise. Bring on Akismet from Automattic. From their website, "Automattic Kismet (Akismet for short) is a collaborative effort to make comment and trackback spam a non-issue and restore innocence to blogging, so you never have to worry about spam again."

Sounds good to me, let's get started!
