Depending on which blog software you use, you can make the *spammers*

have to work a lot harder by changing directory names and locations,

and obfuscating the "c" word (comment :-) both in the link to the

comment page and the name of the page itself: generally getting as far

away from a default install as possible. This got me a few months of

respite from casino spammers, though I still got zapped by half a

dozen comments last week (I don't require any authentication of any

kind to post comments and allow HTML to be posted..) This finally

prompted me to write the VFP code to remove the comments and correct

the comment counts in the MySQL database, though!
