I have a blog build with PHP/Apach/MySQL: http://www.consultingcase101.com. just found from log file that a spammer IP 213.5.64.20 attack my blog every 20 mins. I already blocked it from .htaccess file. Is there anyway to complete block this IP so that it won't attack my blog anymore? Any suggestions??

You can use WP-ban or similar plugin-just search the web for another (you're using wordpress as I saw) . Rergards p.s.: Try re-posting your thread in right section to get more answers quickly.
Blocking it with .htaccess should be all the protection you need, unless they change to another ip address.
