Finally, I’ve had to do it. Because of all the comment spam, I’ve now moved to new weblog software. I’m using Wordpress, because it seems to be the easiest thing to set up and there are some great templates available for it.

Welcome to the WordPress world Antoin! I have written a couple of articles on how best to minimise comment spam in WordPress - see http://www.tomrafteryit.net/comment-spam-plugins-no-longer-required/ for more.
Hope this helps,
Tom

Thanks for that, things are certainly somewhat improved with the new software. I am still getting some spamming action, but at least I can manage it.
Wordpress is certainly a great package for getting up-and-running quickly.

Would have continued to read eire anyway, as it’s always interesting - but now it’s so much more pleasant to read.
