The curse of any blog is the endless stream of comment spam. In some cases this has lead a number of predominant popular bloggers to turn comments off all together. Which in away defeats the purpose of a blog altogether doesn’t it. Well this blog used to get its fair share of spam.

Now it’s 1 to 2 pieces of spam a day. So what did I do to reduce to the level of spam.
