    Blog spam, guest book spam, referrer spam are ongoing problems you face if you have blogs and or web online.

    Do a search for Blockiing Wordpress spam to fiind out what others are doing about it. There are ways to try to conntrol it. Since I run no wordpress blogs can not be more specifiic.

    Atleast in wordpress they're easier to weed out.

    Wait, and Akismet will get released, and you'll be a very happy blogger.

    pretty sure most blogging software gives you the ability to add a visual confirmation before guest posting, or requiring people to be registered before posting, or allowing you to approve posts before posting or other spam prevention built in.

    I know for sure Blogger does this. It's in your settings somewhere. I got one spam comment almost immediately after psoting my blog, and turned on the comment validator thingie. Now no comments, but no spam either. :)
