Another method for eradicating spam on blogs can be used in conjunction with this method. I use a captcha from botproof.com that stops all automated comments posted by 'bots' by including a captcha that bots cannot read (a pixelated graphic that constantly changes to confuse the bot). When I installed this on my blog it cut me down from 8-10 spam comments per day to about 1 genuine comment every couple of days. LOL, the problem I'm having now is someone leaving comments in a foreign language on my english language blog... researching how to block his I.P. address now. Thanks for this post.
