I just thought about it after reading your reply - I didn't post any URLs, so, here I go: <a href="http://theubergeeks.net/2004/08/25/optional-comment-moderation-03/">Optional Comment Moderation</a> <a href="http://mookitty.co.uk/devblog/category/kittens-spam-words/">Kitten's new plugin download page</a> I recommend spamwords and spaminator <a href="http://charles.gagalac.us/wordpress-plugins/ip-blocklist/">IP Blocklist</a> - love this plugin, copy/paste save as .php file and upload to the plugins section and activate <a href="http://wiki.wordpress.org/?pagename=Comment%20Moderation%20Plugin">Comment Moderation Plugin</a> - allows users to approve their own comments and the one you were asking about <a href="http://wiki.wordpress.org/?pagename=Live%20Preview%20Plugin">Live Preview Plugin</a> I know this is going to get caught in the moderation queue b/c of all the links, but I assure you, this is not spam :) I actually downloaded that plugin – the one which allows you to preview the post as you type – however, I haven't installed it yet.

I just thought about it after reading your reply – I didn't post any URLs, so, here I go:
Optional Comment Moderation
Kitten's new plugin download page I recommend spamwords and spaminator
IP Blocklist – love this plugin, copy/paste save as .php file and upload to the plugins section and activate
Comment Moderation Plugin – allows users to approve their own comments

and the one you were asking about Live Preview Plugin

I know this is going to get caught in the moderation queue b/c of all the links, but I assure you, this is not spam :)

Long comments are good. :-) Thanks for the info about the plugins; I'm going to look them up, too. Along with a plugin(?) that displays how your post will look while you type it. Good to see you here; I do love your blog! It's not a problem, teli. Long comments are good. :-)

I have a number of Wordpress plugins which are wonderful. If spamming of older posts is a concern of yours, I'd definitely look into the Optional Comment Moderation plugin which allows you to set the amount of time to wait before automagically turning on comment moderation. I use it for one of my blogs and it works splendidly. I receive an email however the comment doesn't show 'til I approve it. Newer posts (less than 7 days old) doesn't have comment moderation, but I have the spamwords plugin and kitten to take care of those spammers. I'm also going to try out a new plugin which allows users to approve their own comments by clicking on a link sent to them via email. Sorry so long on the comment - this is a highly touchy subject for me too ;) I feel your pain Diane,
