Well, I did a bit of searching and tinkering after Todd had recommended using the Akismet API to combat comment spam in my original post.
I got a bit sidetracked though- I thought about CAPTCHAs and switching plugins, I reviewed WordPress quickly (you need a WP key to use the Akismet API) and even thought about switching platforms because I thought WP was quite nice. But I decided to give Kevin Scaldeferri’s Writeback/Akismet plugin for Blosxom a whirl. I’ll leave the comments open for a week or so to see how it goes. If not, I’ll think about using something else.
