Howdy all,
If you have had enough of spammers and comment spam on your blog please read on as I would love to get your assistance in testing a new plugin. Anyhoo for quite some time I have wanted to develop a Wordpress Plugin, both for learning purposes and to give something of myself to the Wordpress community.

I have almost completed my first Wordpress plugin and am looking for some people who have their own hosted Wordpress blogs who would be interested in Beta testing the plugin for me.

As a note it is a *very* simple plugin and is aimed at enabling blogs to contribute to Project Honeypot. As a note Project Honeypot is aimed at capturing automated spammers and bots that comment and spam email addresses and blogs across the web and adding them to a blacklist which enables you to block them from accessing your site (and if you use BadBehaviour it has the ability to reference the blacklist if you are a contributing member of Project Honeypot, just one of the reasons I wanted to develop this plugin).

I do not want to release too many details at this stage but if you are remotely interested please either leave me a comment here and I will get into contact with you or drop me a line through my Contact Me page.

At this stage I hope to have the plugin ready for Beta testing in the next few days.
Stuart ;)

    Thanks for a great plugin, makes it a snap to add the link to your footer without having to dig around or worry about mistyping something.

    One suggestion:
    Make a link or a reminder to activate the script.

    Cheers
