Controlling Blog Comment Spam

Comment spam on my blog is driving me nuts!!! I have never let a single spam comment through moderation, yet the spam comments outnumber real comments at least 10-to-1.

I just installed Akismet — hope it helps. Any other recommendations for controlling spam on a Wordpress blog?

Try Intense Debate. They did wonders for cutting down my spam -- not to mention being an all-round better way to do comments.

Thank you both for the completely unbiased comments. ;)

P.S. Yes, I know I need to try out Intense Debate (and Disqus as well to be fair)... And, I know this sucks coming from a MyBlogLog guy, but do you have any plans for a non-JavaScript version of the service? I do like the good comments getting indexed on the site.
