Trying something
Dear blog readers:
I *love* your comments. I love reading them, and usually mercilessly check my blog several times a day to see if a new comment lies in wait for me. I do not, however, love those comments not written by humans. Unfortunately, the comment-spam machines are threatening to take over my poor little unsuspecting blog, often leaving up to 6 useless comments per post per day, and action must be taken. Right now, a quick fix (for me) is to enable word-verification upon commenting. This means that you go about commenting as you usually would, but with one more step. If this gets to be a major pain, please let me know; other alternatives exist, but they are necessarily more labor-intensive and likely to wipe out all the comments currently on the blog, which is no fun for anybody.

Claire, I have had the same problem on my blog, as have my friends. One switched to removing anonymous comments, but that didn't stop it. :(
If you find that this solution works, please let me know! :)
We're having the same problem with blog spam. We're working on a solution as well.
