Since I installed it 15 days ago,  it has successfully blocked 60 spam comments.

It’s installed by default for users of WordPress.com but if, like me, you host your own blog, it’s easy to download and install the plugin, although you’ll need to sign up for a free WordPress.com account to receive the required API key.

I haven’t had much time to play with it yet, but it all seems to be running nicely so far.

By the way, Happy New Year :)
