Captcha is a good way to take care of this and regularly moderating new comments also helps. You don’t have to read the whole comment (but I usually do since I pride myself in getting comments) but you can quickly scan to see if it’s spam or not.

I post comments often on do follow blogs and I also make it relevant. There is no use in wasting an house pasting the same comment on tons of blogs when most bloggers who’ve actually taken the time to make their blog do follow, also moderate comments.

Also, when you put your all in a comment, it’s more likely the blogger him/herself will visit your blog regularly and friendships can grow and ideas can be shared. That’s what blogging is supposed to promote anyway, right?

If you use Google Analytics, it will tell you the proportion of your viewers that have Java support in their browsers. Mine runs at about 94% with Java.

Thank you. Yes, this is a method I discovered on my own – quite by accident. Hope it does good to you. I’ll take a look at your blog, indeed.
