Everytime I open my wordpress dashboard I always see that there is always a number in my spam queue. Unfortunately, there are some non spam comments that are being screen by my Akismet as spam, so I needed to manually screen all those comments which is tiring.
But a couple of days ago I observed that some spam comments have gone passed my Akismet. Oh well, maybe my akismet was tired because it was working overtime. So, it let some spam comment pass through and let me do the screening.
With this I decided to install something that will shoo those robots away my comment box. I searched for a plugin that would asked the commenter to input some text or do the math. A captcha like plugin. And my googling lead me to the reCAPTCHA wordpress plugin. The installation was easy but you need some API keys so you need to register with the recaptcha website. But it was just a breeze. I tested it and its running smoothly. But if ever you encounter any problems commenting do drop me a line in the cbox, ok? thanks!
