Well, I might have been slow in figuring out what was going on with the commentators on my blog, but hopefully now it has been fixed thanks to the word verification option in the blogger settings. Anyone who might be reading this and having similar difficulties with people spamming your blog, go to the "settings" tab and then to "comments" to turn on the word verification option on your blog editing... page... site... thing...
