It details steps that users of Automattic’s hosted blog solution can take to monitor and prevent misuse of their work. It’s a guide tailored to the more limited tools available to WordPress.com users.

The article offers several tips on how WordPress.com users, working in their limited environment, can get functionality similar to the plugins self-hosted WordPress users have at their disposal.

I hope that users of WordPress.com find the guide useful and please feel free to add anything that I missed to the comments in the original article. I plan on doing other guides in the future for other sites such as BlogSpot and Typepad if there is a great deal of interest.
