  This morning I had a comment to one of my posts that was filled with spam. How can I prevent that from happening in the future?

  go to dashboard, select comments, mark that comment as spam, so that akismet will learn from that. hopefully in future similar spam will not go past akismet.

  I had a couple as well this morning. The funny thing was that it was coming from the same IP address as those that were caught. Maybe Akismet kicked in in the middle of it and realized that it was spam.

  Thanks guys and gals (if you are a gal sulz). I got in trouble with raincoaster for calling her a guy, before I new otherwise.
