Spam

OK, while I appreciate the extra comments and enjoy the flattery - false though it is - I'd prefer not to get the Blogger comment spam. Anybody have any tips about what I can do to avoid it, short of disabling comments entirely? I won't do that; I'd miss hearing from you all!

A blogger friend of mine just loaded HaloScan comments. Less spam-prone, but on the down side, the comments aren't saved in perpetuity. If you don't mind commentless archives, it could be the way to go.

I've been getting way more spamments than you lately. The only plus is that for every spamment that gets left, it appears that many more spambots pass through the blog. My overseas readership numbers are way up!

I think Blogger now has an option to require commenters to do word confirmation. That might help.

Bingo! Thank you, Psycho Kitty!

I added the word confirmation thing myself and it works like a charm!
