As I am starting to get a little more active with my blog, although granted this has taken a little while, I noticed that I am starting to get a lot of blog spam from all sorts of sites and this is starting to get rather annoying.
So after doing a bit of research I can across an extension to BlogEngine.NET developed by Justin Etheredge, using the Akismet API for C#. Justin Chase from Microsoft Expression team has an excellent blog post with step-by-step instructions on how to get this set up so need to duplicate here.
Time will tell the effectiveness of this extension, but something has to be done to stop this web annoyance.
