Kill Spam with Mollom

"Kill spam".  Sounds beautiful doesn't it?

I'd gotten irritated with the amount of spam comments we were getting on xn--e1ale9b.xn--j1aef.xn--p1acf so I decided to try a new module out.  I was looking around on Drupal.org and noticed Mollom, a new module that's being used by Sony BMG, Adobe, Warner Bros and FastCompany, among others.

Remember Me?

It's frustrating to have to log in to your site, over and over again, just to delete some bozo's worthless spammy comments.

The fix? Ask your Drupal site to remember you :D

CAPTCHA is Practically a No-Brainer

Regardless of what type of Drupal site you run, you should probably install and use some form of CAPTCHA system. I've played with some of the options and they range from cumbersome to almost-useful but, alas, in this world of constant spam, we have to choose something somewhere in between that range or we'll be inundated with irritating viagra comments all day long!

Admin Menu - Keep it Standard!

Admin menu is another one of those modules that I don't know how I'd live without! Before discovering it, I found Drupal a pain in the butt to administer. Reloading the page each time I tried to find something in the admin menu really slows things down.

For those of us that administer more than one web site, Admin menu is especially useful and a time-saver. It makes it easy to administer any site without spending too much time thinking about it.

Pathauto - SEO Mana from God

Drupal's standard URLs are far from pretty. They suck.

First off, who's going to remember http://www.example.com/node/12762 over http://www.example.com/about-us.html? It's just not user-friendly. You kinda have to take a gamble each time you want to link to something in your own web site. And chicks don't dig it ;)
