Squarespace blog spam - surely this can be handled better?

Sure, this isn't the most popular blog in the world, but it's gained sufficient attention to start gathering blog or journal spam.  For me this has included some wonderful websites letting me know where I can get the best quality replica Tag Heuer watches and 'just like the original' knock-off Louis Vuitton handbags.

I've just cleaned up a dozen or so spam messages from just the last couple of days.  Not a huge deal, but I don't need to be doing this.  I figured I must have left an option unchecked?/  Squarespace doesn't have Akismet (or an equivalent) so I figured at the very least I should switch on 'Comments require moderation by an administrator'.  I can't find such a setting though...I MUST be looking in the wrong places as this feature is a no-brainer.  Any clues, anyone?  All I could find was the place where we switch comments either on or off. 

I'm afraid I need just a little more granularity than that...

Wordpress or Squarespace - it comes down to the templates

I wrote previously about how Squarespace templates and their whereabouts.  Recently I've been helping a friend with a new site for his business.  Initially we went with Squarespace and started modifying one of the standard templates, but my skills aren't up to the job of completely transforming the site to look unique and to lose that squarespace-templated feel.  We decided to have a crack at Wordpress once more and were very impressed.  It's been a little while since I last played with Wordpress and it's come on a long way.  What's more, the range (and quality!) of templates is phenomenal.  I'm afraid that until the template selection improves, I'll be using Wordpress for clients needing a professional looking site with little effort.  Themeforest was the site of choice for themes for us and we bought and used an excellent template - Traject. Take a look.

I'll keep Galoomp with Squarespace for a while - mainly due to the fact that I haven't got the time to shift it to WP, but also because I don't have a need for anything flash...yet.
