Hey ya'll! Question... I'm tired of getting freekin spam through comments on my blog and I've been doing some research to stop it. I am not sure but I guess Akismet is only offered to free WP accounts (maybe I'm wrong)
What would you recommend? Any plugins you are currently using that work well? Thanks!

If you register an account to wordpress.com you get an akismet key, even if you don't have a wordpress.com blog.

SO once I get that key, I can use it on my real blog?

Disable and or make the comments have to be moderated through the approval process by the admin, before they go live... I believe that function can be accessed through the toolbar on the left rail of the admin page.
- I do this too - using Akismet just automatically throws those comments into a spam folder for easy reviewingbulletfactory
