  11  == Description ==
  12  
  13  Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not and lets you
  14  review the spam it catches under your blog's "Comments" admin screen.
  15  
  16  Major new features in Akismet 2.5 include:
  17  
  18  * A comment status history, so you can easily see which comments were caught or cleared by Akismet, and which were spammed or unspammed by a moderator
  19  * Links are highlighted in the comment body, to reveal hidden or misleading links
  20  * If your web host is unable to reach Akismet's servers, the plugin will automatically retry when your connection is back up
  21  * Moderators can see the number of approved comments for each user
  22  * Spam and Unspam reports now include more information, to help improve accuracy
  23  
  24  PS: You'll need an [Akismet.com API key](http://akismet.com/get/) to use it.  Keys are free for personal blogs, with paid subscriptions available for businesses and commercial sites.
  25  
  26  == Installation ==
  27  
  28  Upload the Akismet plugin to your blog, Activate it, then enter your [Akismet.com API key](http://akismet.com/get/).
