Do you have any idea where I can find that custom math problem plugin, where people have to answer a math problem before their comments are displayed? I am getting tired of moderating comments on my blog. Hey, thanks for the info.

I think it must since I see people with wordpress.com accounts use plugins. Of course I can look into this for you, but I charge $150 per hour minimum one hour whether the answer is yes or no, this is incidentally also what it would cost you to get your own hosting for 2 years. So, because I'm you're friend and want what's best for you, I recommend you hire me ! So you're willing to change the name your parents gave you to be an anti-spam custom word?:D Added!

This is great, but the problem is every once in a while it takes a legitimate comment and sticks it in there, and it's really hard to find. Wheras if you have custom anti-spam images and akismet, akismet will catch the handful of spam comments that manage to get through the image protection, and if it messes up and flags a genuine comment as spam, it will be easy to find it since there won't be much else in the spam folder.
