I’ve tried the TypePad AntiSpam software on my blog and I have to say I was not thoroughly impressed with it. It was buggy, and did not let me control all the functions tthat I wish to control. As of right now, I am monitoring each comment manually. But that proves to be challenging due to the high number of spam comments my blog gets from marketers. If anyone knows of any other AntiSpam tools for WP blogs, please suggest because I think TypeSpam still has a long way to go before being truly effective.
