8ASolutions, thanks for the recommendation. Yes, Disqus is one of those commenting systems that can also help to minimize spam comments on one's blog.

Dear Lord, just use Akismet and it will eliminate 99.999% of your spam. If you have time to do all of the above, you are wasting your life away on pointless activities.

Larry, I agree with you Akismet can eliminate 99.999% of spam; but the problem is that Akismet needs and API key which requires the user to pay a monthly subscription.

Unfortunately, not all newbies can afford monthly subscription. So the best option for them for a start is to use the free plugins that can do a good job, and then later change to a much improved security arrangement like using Akismet when there is some money available to maintain the subscription.

Thank you so very much for drawing my attention to that. God bless.
