So since I started using the blogger comments, I'm beginning to get automated spam for the usual crap in the comments. I may have to turn on the "login" if you want to comment - or else go back to haloscan if this continues. So far I'm just getting one or two a day which I've been manually deleting.
I'll have to see if their are any other settings that can control this automated junk.

comment spam was a royal pain in the behind when
I first started with MovableType. Ever since I installed
the blacklist plugin and compiled a list of domains
and spam words, I haven't seen one spam comment.
I doubt if Blogger offers any of these options...
How does Blogger work for you anyways?
Blogger's not bad.
The layout template (I guess I could change this more if I wanted to) is all floating CSS stuff - and sometimes it's quirky compared to a "table."
It has a couple of nice features: spell check (not robust but okay); and posting and changing the template is straight foward.
Blogger doesn't offer much info on blocking spam other than deleting the offending post. Haloscan was much better at that.
I used to edit other people's comments - just for typos etc. - and I don't know if I can do that with Blogger.
The main reason I switched was so that I wouldn't have comments hosted by one place and the blog hosted somewhere else (i.e. my web host). Doubles the odds of something happening.
Either blogger and its' comments are up and running or not. It's been very reliable. I also figured that since Google bought them - they'd start adding some super features...
And you can manage multiple blogs; and multiple contributors - the latter I'd like to do sometime.
