For some reason, my class’s blogs on edublogs are being spammed to frustration!
I don’t want the holidays, the free Nigerian money or the car leases. The friends and the drugs are beginning to look interesting though!
The damage being is being done to my fragile ego and to my willingness to continue to blog! It’s so depressing to read that someone has found your site and thinks you are doing a great job, posting a fab blog, and have the best blog they’ve seen yet, only to realise, when you look at the ‘whois’ that, it’s a robot spam from some irrelevant part of the spamiverse.
Unfortunately, I’m fed up having to empty my limited A&B mailbox every morning, login to edublogs and bulk moderate the comments.
So, I’m in need of advice. Advice that works please. Is this an experience of others? Or am I special? On second thoughts, don’t answer the last point- I don’t do rejection well!!!

You’re definitely not alone! In edublogs if you go to “manage” and then “referers” you can add any dodgy looking sites to your blacklist - it seems to reduce the amount a bit.

Hi Graham, have you activated the Akismet plugin? it is pretty good. you need to create an account at wordpress.com (free) to get the api key, but that will only take a few minutes.
