    Make it so you have to approve the comments first.

    I think of it as a kind of 'rite of passage', sort of your blog being christened by comment spam.

    I had that problem with some of my early blogs. Blogger has a fix, turn on word verification. This makes people have to type in a funky code to make comments. This eliminated comment spammers all together.

    That's one of the many problems with blogger. This was ultimately the reason I moved to wordpress on my own domain.
