I use Spam-Karma on all of my sites. Give it a try. I’m sure you will be happy.

Actually, there are a lot of WordPress plugins that help prevent spam. Just check the WordPress codex.

I’m quite up to the point where I can find the problem myself with the RDF feed generator and I don’t have the time at the moment to track it down myself, but I filed a bug with the authors of WordPress: http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1542

Personally, I suggest skipping Spam Karma and all the others in favor of lr2Spam, which simply adds a dynamic hidden form field which must be validated for a comment to be posted. Basically, it requires the commenter to have visited the actual post before commenting, which is something most spammers don't fake yet. I haven't seen a single spam since I installed it, and commenters haven't noticed anything's different. There's no configuration beyond turning it on, and I really like it.

It sure does, Gary. Weird. It looks like the RDF version of the feed isn’t working right. I guess I’ll have to investigate if it’s a problem with wordpress or my config. Probably a bug in wordpress being that I am running an alpha version
