I've now banned 234 IP addresses from this weblog. That's 74 new spam blogs (splogs) since I originally grumbled about the problem just under a month ago.
I've been experimenting with alternative blogging software and have concluded that WordPress is both easy to use and (according to Julian Guppy and several others who are more technically inclined than I, simplifies the process of dealing with spam.
Consequently, I intend to migrate the content of this blog to WordPress as soon as I can organise it. I have no idea what that will mean when it comes to dates, etc. but it can't be helped. I'm fed up with Movable Type and that's that.
Postscript 18/01/06: After several weeks' respite, I just banned another IP address and was informe "You have 308 users in your list of banned IP addresses."
I wonder what the maximum penalty for splogging should be...?
