Configure Typekey Comments on your MT Blog
To prevent comment spam, your MT blog allows you to require anyone posting a comment to register with the TypeKey service. TypeKey is an external authentication service, intended to allow blog owners to require users to be logged in to comment (and thus decreasing spam), and at the same time provide users with one sign-on account across a large number of blogs (and so decreasing the number of passwords people have to remember). Here's how to enable comments using this service.
To enable comments with this service:
- Log into your blog's administrative interface
- Click on "Settings" from the menu on the left.
- Click on the "Feedback" link near the top of the page.
- Choose "Authenticated commenters only".
- Click the "Setup Authentication" button. This will open a new window, taking you to the TypeKey registration site.
- Login, or register a new account.
- Once logged in to TypeKey, scroll down to the bottom of the Account Preferences page, and enter the address of your main/root blog into one of the boxes under "Your Weblog Preferences".
- Copy the "TypeKey token" from the space above the box you just pasted the url into (it looks something like "R9DkT180vExXUbWSpi").
- Click the "Save Changes" button.
- Close the TypeKey window, and paste the TypeKey Token you just copied into the box to the right of the "Setup Authentication" button.
- From the options next to "Immediately publish comments from:", choose "Any authenticated commenters".
- Scroll down and click the "Save Changes" button.
- Rebuild your site.
