Now With Spam Block!

I've added a new plugin to WordPress, can you tell? Yesterday, I successfully installed & updated Akismet for WordPress, which is a delightfully free (they accept donations from private users & charge for businesses) spam blocking application. All you have to do is sign up for a key at their site, then provide it to your WordPress blog upon installation. Presto, change-o, you've got a spam free blog! All comments & content submitted to your blog, excluding registered users of your blog, will be scrutinized by Akismet for validity.   Yay, delicious spam-free blogging! ( = 8 <3 -- EDIT 20170416: Akismet helped. Disabling commenting worked better. Make sure you deal with your xmlrpc.php as well, otherwise that will be abused. Ultimately, I ended up switching this all to static files with Nikola on the recommendation of a cohort. Really liking it. Increadibly easy to restore a site if you obliterate it, especially w/ GitHub backed.
