I got my first blog comment spam last night so this morning I have implemented captcha to help prevent this sort of thing. I decided to go with an existing implementation rather than writing my own like I have with everything else on this site. My main reason behind that decision is that I find image creating and manipulation very painful.
I ended up using Securimage PHP CAPTCHA as I'm using PHP and it seemed like a fairly straight forward implementation. Integrating it was incredibly simple and took me all of 15 minutes. How effective it is, only time will tell but from what I have seen so far I am quite impressed at the ease and simplicity of this PHP offering.
As a side note one other thing I'm currently working on and will be uploading very soon is support for tags/categories. I've completed the back-end work and now just need to integrate it with the public facing areas of the site.
That's all for now
