Effective immediately, I've made a couple of tiny changes to how comments are managed on this blog:
- I've activated comment moderation. When you click on the Publish button, your comment will go into a queue for review. Queued comments will appear on the blog after I've had a chance to review and publish them. I'll try to do this a few times/day so as to minimize delays.
- Anyone can comment. I used to limit commenters to registered users of the Blogger service. This kept anonymous nasties at bay, but made it difficult-to-impossible for users of other services - or, gasp, readers who don't blog at all - to leave their thoughts. With moderation, this issue goes away, so the doors are now open to anyone.

great enhancement, don't you think? haloscan may be an alternative for you too, though. have never had to worry about spam. :)
Nice feature. That unwanted spam can be so annoying.
Visiting from michele's, but I plan to look around some more.
I'm going to give that a shot too.
Mary P put comment moderation on and then shortly thereafter took it off....
it's weird commenting and not seeing it pop up on the screen :-(

The people on Michele's convinced me to change my Blogger settings too. I haven't been spammed as I feared, so hopefully it'll work out.
Via Michele's.
There are people who don't blog...?
Let us know if the comment moderation works well for you. I noticed that recently, but I wondered why you would need that as wella s comment verification. Seems to me that one or the other would work well.
Okay, I commented twice -- wasn't prepared for that queue. I mean, I refreshed, I left your site and came back... What else was a computer illiterate to think? Glad you told me.
