Fighting Spam

I've been receiving a bit of spam on my blog lately :evil: obviously none of it gets through, but its still annoying having to delete it all. So, I have decided to take measures against it by implementing a few changes on my blog. I have installed the Captcha! plugin which now requires users to manually enter the text they see in the picture before their comment is submitted. I have also activated the Askimet plugin which flags comments as spam based on the askimet database.

Whilst looking at the different ways to fight spam I found this article: The Solution to Blog Spamming, which I found very useful.
