In an effort to better weed out the comment spam (and not accidentally delete any more comments by having to manually delete spam) I’ve installed Pete’s Custom Anti-Spam Plugin. Doug from All Things Democrat recommended it and I found it to be the easiest, cleanest and least obtrusive of the spam filter plugins I fiddled with. So far it’s working great; I only had to clean out 5 spam comments in the last 24 hours and those probably slipped in while I was fiddling with settings. This is a huge improvement over the 100 or so spam comments I normally have to contend with daily. Highly recommended.

Let’s see if this works.
Test
This isn’t straight forward.
You have to make several attempts because the equations are straight forward.
4+4X7 = 32 to a computer, 56 if you process it from left to right.
This could get interesting, Keith
hmm…
took me three tries. I can fiddle with the settings though.
We’ll get it all worked out.
How about reCaptcha, instead? Does this work better?
Have you tried Pete’s Custom Anti-Spam? I use it in my blog and love it. Not sure what WP version you use or what you’re level of php knowledge is, but I’d recommend it.

I was looking at Pete’s CAS. Maybe iIll try that.

Dude! Love the strike through…….had to give this a whirrrrrrrrrrl.
You’re right Doug, Pete’s CAS is much better.
I think I can handle this, rather than the math test.
