For Akismet, the first requirement for checking a blog comment for spam is to pass what Akismet calls the blog. This parameter is described as such:
blog (required) The front page or home URL of the instance making the request. For a blog or wiki this would be the front page. Note: Must be a full URI, including http://.
Yet they don't give any examples of what they mean. Take for example the following three blog urls:
- blog.domain.com
- domain.com
- domain.com/blog
1 is a subdomain, but fully qualified and would be the blog url. One could also host the blog at 2 as it is also fully qualified.
3 is a sub URI and it confuses me. If I want to host my blog using 3 and use the Akismet API, what do I submit as the instance making the request? Do I submit domain.com/blog or do I submit domain.com?
