How to Completely Block Comment Spam in Your WordPress Blog?

I am currently using 3 spam-blocking plugins for this blog, but it’s not prov

The latest versions of WordPress installations come with Akismet, a spam-filtering plugin for WordPress. Akismet can be very useful especially in filtering spam comments containing numerous links, which are always a feature of spam messages. Unfortunately, it fails to do its job sometimes for flagging proper comments as spam. So it would be necessary to check the filtered spam for this error. Problems arise when you got a lot of spam, say hundreds or thousands, to review. It would take you a lot of time, or it maybe impossible for the blogger to finish checking all those spam. You cannot just delete these comments because you might disappoint your readers. Some comments may also contain important things such as a link exchange request, a relevant link to your post, etc.

11 Simple Ways to Minimize Eye-Strain

1. Ensure that any close-up work or computer screen is not too close to your eyes. As a general rule, view material from as great a distance as possible, provided it can still be read easily.

MYMP New Horizon

The phenomenal duo has recently released their new album entitled, “New Horizon”, following their multi-platinum album, “Versions and Beyond” This must be good news for fans who waited for this release.

MYMP shows a “new horizon” to their fans by including original tracks such as the carrier single “With You”, “Ang Pag-Ibig Mo”, “Love Stood Still” and other tracks from the album. This 14-track album also features revival songs like Starship’s “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now”, Richard Marx’s “Only Reminds Me of You”, and The Jets’ “You Got it All.” This album promises original flavor of MYMP’s music – sweet, soft and soothing.

My picks from the album.

“With great power comes great responsibility. This is my gift. This is my curse. Who am I?…”

No, I wasn’t thinking of being powerful because I am not. Neither that I am a superhero or something. Neither that I hold great power nor have control over certain things. I wasn’t thinking about being gifted because I am just as normal as the most of us.

I was just thinking about the current Philippine political scene. Of the so-called leaders who’s obsession with power is unsurmountable. Like vampires obsessed with blood.
