To prevent blog comment spam, every blogger should use: (1) Email Notification of blog comments (2) Word Verification/Character Recognition captchas (3) Comment Moderation w/Delayed Posting Some blogs and sites also require User Registration to verify the identity of a commenter, but I don't think that is necessary for most personal blogs. Corporate blogs might do Registration, but more for marketing data about users, I suspect. I have a blog called Blog Core Values you may like. I have a deconstructive MySpace blog that is investigating MySpace from within, called SoMeEx. Links are on my Vaspers the Grate site. Keep up the good work. EMAIL SPAM TIP: Never display your email address in normal manner with @ and . Use [at] and [dot] instead. steven[dot]streight[at]gmail.com that way, spambots can't harvest it.
