What Akismet will do for you is counter most of the automated script/spam to the comments of your post.

It is not perfect however, so you need to keep an eye on it till you see how well it is working. It is like a national database for these spam posts or like a spam scanner.

Once in a while (or worse) you may see posts to your comments like “Great post, do you have anything more on this”. This is very generic and if you moderate your comments, this would not be one to allow unless you know the user who posted it.

This would be true of any post where nothing specific is mentioned about what was in the post.  Granting the post will no doubt enable them to send the next one without moderation and spam you with adds for Viagra or worse in your comments area. This can be tiresome for you if you have many posts.

We suggest you use the Akismet and keep your eye on it for a while till you see how good a job it is doing for you.

Good comments do get caught-up. They call that “Ham”, so you need to look for “Ham” in the Akismet once in a while to not offend a comment from a real person. Teaching the application what is good when it makes a mistake will make it more accurate as time goes on much like a spam mail catcher.

This is just a extra we wish you to have available to make your BeagleHunters.com site easier. But if it is not doing well for you in your first 30 posts, you probably should deactivate it.

Be sure to Make/Edit  a “ABOUT” page and include your name (first and last and/or nickname) in that page.

We would also caution you to be careful how much personal information you place there about yourself as anything good can be used for bad.

Finding your Site/Blog by personal name will not be a problem once that info is in there. As many of you will be using names that are very similar around beagles & hunting etc,  It may be a problem to find your site by site/blog name if they do not know it’s name or can not spell it correctly (not knocking anyone but some use long and unusual names).

We will be adding more advanced features for search of all types in the future.
