Akismet comment moderation software

Posted on by Duncan Coutts

The Bristol Blogs network uses a plugin called Akismet to moderate external comments on blogs. If you have enabled a comments feed this will protect it from spam and offensive language. Further information about how this plugin works can be found on the Edublogs support site.

Activating Akismet

The Akismet plugin is installed at a network level so there is no need to install it on an individual blog.

The Akismet settings can be found by navigating to Dashboard > Settings > Akismet. These settings will only appear if the site is publicly visible. To change your visibility settings, navigate to Dashboard > Settings > Reading.

Enabling comments and managing user interaction with blogs

You can choose the level of engagement users have with your blog by changing your comment settings.

Comments are enabled on posts and pages by default. You can approve, delete or edit any comments left on your blog at any point. You can also change your comment settings, and can enable or disable them at any time.
