I get an occasional spam comment very rarely, but never multiples. Or maybe I'm just lucky that my blog never got on anyone's list. η My combination of the maths question and not marking up links seems to be working so far… I get an occasional spam comment very rarely, but never multiples.

Some sort of captcha system would be better, definitely... The downside of not running my on blog software - I’m limited by what the host makes available.

If you can, <a href="http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/" rel="nofollow">Spam Karma 2</a> Works very well for me. Mine has filtered some godawful number of thousands of spam posts since I installed it, and let through a total of two. I never customised it in any way, either, just installed it and ignored it.

(I can request new plugins as well if I want) However I'm reaching the point where I'm not sure if this 'free' blog has any advantage over using Trouble, or indeed installing my own so I can tweak it. The main advantage is in having "blog.sietsma.com" - maybe I should look into how to get my host to redirect subdomains, it *should* be possible.
