How to get a WordPress / Akismet API key


akismetdlAbout a day after I started this blog, I started receiving spam comments. These comments are usually made by automatic blow crawling software that post a trackback URL in the comments area. I decided to give Akismet a try since it was already included with WordPress 2.3 and I had read many reviews regarding it on other sites.

akismet no api key

Now my blog is not hosted on WordPress.com but Akismet needs an API key to work. Actually as it turns out, Akismet just needs any wordpress.com API key to function.

Head over to http://wordpress.com/signup/ and sign up for an account. Choose the option “Just a Username please”

akismetuserplz

Check your email and you should find your API key given at the bottom.

akismetkey

Enter the key in your Plugins >> Akismet Configuration page.

Thats it Akismet has been configured and should start taking care of your spam now !
