Adding a comment section to your blog is great for getting more traffic to your blogging community. Allowing readers of your content to leave perceptive and discerning information through comments is one characteristic of a great blog owner. Blogging is about putting the information out there and getting a response or reaction from the community about your content.

There are many times that bloggers are bothered by the amount of spam received through their blogging comments. If you are working with WordPress for your blogging venture you can add a very helpful plugin called Askimet that will check your comments awaiting moderation for spamming.

The plugin works great for WordPress blogs by recording a comment status history allowing you to see with ease which comments were caught and/or cleared by Askimet for spam screening. Links are highlighted in the body of each comment that Aksimet flags as spam revealing any hidden or misleading links for easy identification.

A terrific feature of the Aksimet is if you have any interruption on the server you are using, the plugin catches the interruption of the web host service and will retry continually until the information is available for scanning.  Above all this blogging comment feature will help you become more productive as your blog community grows right along with the number of comments received.

The ability for a blog owner and their community to communicate through comments is important and vital to the workings of a blog. Having to spend valuable time moderating and deleting spam instead of working on content or replying to astute and interesting comments left by your audience is wonderful.

Spam comments are annoying to say the least and anything that helps you to blog better is always welcome. WordPress plugins developed like Aksimet are welcome and hopefully will continue to help you add value to your blogging efforts each day you pick up your computer to add more wonderful content for the world to comment about.
