Did you set 'name' and 'secret key' at 
'Zope-instance/Products/PloneCaptcha/config.py'?


Here is a procedure to use PloneCaptcha on Plone+COREBlog2.

1. Get account of captchas.net -> http://captchas.net/registration/
  After registration completed, you'll get 'name' and 'secret key' by 
e-mail.

2. Download and extract PloneCaptcha, and put it in 'Products' folder of 
Zope-instance.

3. Edit 'name' and 'secret key' settings in 
'Zope-instance/Products/PloneCaptcha/config.py'.

4. Restart zope and install PloneCaptcha from portal_quickinstaller(site 
settings -> add/remove products).
  Now you can use captcha on plone. But to use it on COREBlog2, further 
settings are needed.

5. Edit 'portal_skins/COREBlog2/cbcomment_form' on ZMI.
  Simply add this code to just before 'remember cookie' code.

<div metal:use-macro="here/captcha/macros/edit" />

  Or more completely, add these code.

-------------------------------------------------------------
       <div class="field"
            tal:define="error errors/captcha| nothing;"
            tal:attributes="class python:test(error, 'field error', 
'field')">

           <label i18n:translate="label_captcha_help">Verification 
Code</label>
           <div class="formHelp" i18n:translate="help_plone_captcha">
              This helps us prevent automated spamming.
           </div>

           <div tal:content="error">Validation error output</div>
           <div metal:use-macro="here/captcha/macros/edit" />
       </div>
-------------------------------------------------------------

6. Edit validator on 'cbentry_view' and 'cbcomment_preview'.
  Go to 'portal_skins/COREBlog2/cbentry_view' on ZMI, and click 
'Validation' tab. Add validator like this:

Context type: Any
Button      : (empty)
Validators  : validate_captcha

Repeat for 'portal_skins/COREBlog2/cbcomment_preview'.


Now you can use captcha on Plone+COREBlog2.
