Spam already?
I just set up this blog two days ago and I’m already receiving blog spam!. Today I got about two dozen “comments” with links to dubious casinos…
As a result, and thanks to the links provided by Alán, I decided to install a Captcha system to try to detract the spambots. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ivão! It is nice to see your blog! I just came back from an email-less trip, and got around to see it! Good that you joined Rome and me in this Wordpress craze!
I use the following Spam correction measures:

But as you see from http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2004/09/15/wordpress-comment-spam-stoppage-techniques/
There might be different alternatives.
What happens with the three strikes law pugin is that if you add the words of the first spam you get to the database, it will reject the guy the next time.
The Central SPAM strategy seems the way to go.
