Avoiding Blog Spam

I've changed the blog settings and made it private, in the hopes of avoiding the comment spam that I've had a few problems with recently (last post - 8 spam comments). The private setting just means that it won't show up on any blogger.com searches, and it won't show up on Blogger's front page in the recently updated blogs section - I think that's where the real problem lies.

There are various automated spamming evils out there--but hopefully this keeps the first wave out.

As for the others, usually there are ways of putting in a comment buffer of X minutes before commenting again. Or logging IP addresses.

Good luck there.
