Setting up Akismet for Coldfusion

ColdFusion

I have heard Akismet mentioned several times so I figured I would look into it.  Akismet "is a collaborative effort to make comment and trackback spam a non-issue and restore innocence to blogging, so you never have to worry about spam again." Integrating Akismet with Coldfusion was easy using cfakismet from Google Code. Step 1:  You can get a free API key by registering for a WordPress.com user account. The API key will be emailed to you after you register. Note: Registration was three questions (username, password, and email address) and I selected "Just a username, please" Step 2: Download CFAkismet.cfc and the index page for an example from the svn repository: http://cfakismet.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ . Step 3: Test after placing cfc and index.cfm on your server.  Change the index.cfm by add your url and the API key from WordPress. See my CFAkismet test page.  Pretty cool and simple, uh :-)
