Commenting on the blog has been re-enabled now that I’ve had time to code in Akismet spam checking.

The process was fairly simple, I utilized existing code from Alex Potsides @ http://www.achingbrain.net/, and pearified the code into a package Salty_Services_Akismet which is now a dependency on the saltybeagle.com code.

Hooray for PEAR packages.

I’m gonna check with Alex and see if he’s considering adding his package to PEAR under Services_Akismet… there would only be minor coding standards changes, a look into how he uses the sockets to connect to akismet, and a re-license from GPL. (A bit of work )

I’ll also note that Tobias Schlitt has Akismet trackback checking already built in to Services_Trackback, but as of yet I don’t think there’s an Akismet comment spam checker inside PEAR.
