  I am getting bombarded by comment spam from the following IP address: 173.79.68.66
  I have flagged all of the comments as spam. Does WordPress ID these by the IP and block it, or by another method?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I just found that setting in the dashboard and added that IP. I’ll see how it does.
  Thanks
