Thanks to the terms of a licensing agreement generously made available by Automattic, the CUNY Academic Commons recently purchased a subscription to Akismet, the premier spam-prevention service for WordPress blogs, that can be shared with any WordPress installation on a cuny.edu domain. We would very much like to spread the word about the availability of this license, so please encourage anyone you know working with WordPress at CUNY to contact us to learn more. And many thanks, again, to Automattic for enabling us to share this service with our colleagues. Here’s to a brighter, less spammy future for all!
