The comments on my blog have been getting hit pretty hard by spammers. I guess they think people across the Internet will flock to play Texas hold ’em if they just post comments in enough places with links to their fine site.
After a little research, I found a very cool Movable Type plug-in that allows you to block spammers and clean up spam-infested blogs. It was so slick and easy to set up, I sent the developer a bit of cash via PayPal for his efforts. Nice work.
Emboldened by my success against the spam villains, I decided to finally get around to importing all of my old Greymatter blog posts into Movable Type. That, too, proved to be much easier than I could have hoped. My MT blog now has posts all the way back to May 2002. While I realize that’s more Benz than anyone should suffer, I really like having it all under one roof.
