Run comments and trackbacks through Akismet to see whether to reject them or not.

Requires the `comments` plugin.

This plugin comes with Pyblosxom. To install, do the following:

1. Add `Pyblosxom.plugins.akismetcomments` to the `load_plugins` list in your `config.py` file.

2. Install the `akismet` library. You can get it at http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#akismet

3. Set up a Wordpress.com API key. You can find more information from http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/10/19/api-key/ .

4. Use this key to put put the following line into your config.py file:

       py['akismet_api_key'] = 'MYKEYID'

5. Add `$(comment_message)` to the comment-form template if it isn’t there already.

   When akismetcomments rejects a comment, it’ll populate that variable with a message explaining what happened.
