I Need Your Advice
Until recently, the amount of spam that was being posted in the comments section here and on my other blogs has been minimal and easily dealt with.
About a month ago, however, it picked up significantly and is a multiple daily issue on each of the blogs I post.
I have always made posting comments as easy as possible, refraining from making anyone enter their name and email address (though I appreciate the fact that almost everyone does) so I know who is posting - or that other dastardly method ... the dreaded captcha! Personally I hate making comments on blogs which use captcha and it is almost entirely unusable on a cell phone.
The final option would be to moderate comments, and at the moment, if I decide to change the way comments are handled here, that would most likely be the way I initially go.
But before I do anything, I would like to hear your thoughts - ironically, in the comments section below.
What do you think? Have you any other suggestions for me?

I've been having the same problem and it drives me nuts! I can only put it down to an increase in traffic in general, which is a good thing. Now that you've mentioned it, I think I might change to moderating my comments too. I don't mind the spam in my email inbox, but it's embarrassing when it actually appears on my blog!
