I almost never look at this statistic partly because it simply doesn’t matter to me how much spam Akismet has blocked as long as it’s blocking it.
But, I, for some reason, paused on this number and felt a warm sensation of sweet satisfaction roll over me as I saw how much spam has been completely blocked.
So, how much spam has your blog blocked so far? Shoutout to Akismet for holding it down.

"Akismet has protected your site from 1,664 spam comments already, and there are 11 comments in your spam queue right now."
Not nearly as impressive.
Jim Gray says
they are awesome…i don't usually check either…
Dustin says
I'm around 660 spams caught. Akismet rules.

1,152…without Akismet…blogging would be almost as difficult as reading the msn.com home page!
