I been receiving a lot of spam comments on my blog. Does anyone have a
way to prevent spammed commented from happening? By default, I have to
approve all comments.

If you maintain your own WordPress instance you could install/enable the Akismet plugin. It seems to work well for me. Some spam still gets through but it's manageable. Perhaps your blog gets a lot more traffic though, and a lot more spam even with Akismet already on?

I'm not sure whether this is an options for blogs hosted at wordpress.com.

I host the website in a Zonbu mini-pc under my couch. Thanks for the help. I enabled the plug-in and I will cross my finger.
