    Hi,

    Is there a good way to stop spam coming through comments on wordpress blog. I am really tired of deleting them manually.

    Any automated way:)

    Activate Akismet. :) I hardly get any spam since I activated it.

    Another vote for Akismet.The latest version of wordpress comes with it if I'm not mistaken.You just need a wordpress API key to activate it.You can get the API by registering for a wordpress.com account.
