Comments are down

Yes, I know comments are down. The MT-Blacklist database appears to have become corrupted. Since this site is still running on an old non-longer supported version of Moveable Type, if I can't easily fix the problem, it may have to wait until I have time to upgrade to either MT3.2 or Wordpress before comments are working again :(

Update: I've managed to coax comments back into life. It looks like my problem was that the blacklist file got too big. I've had to cut it back by deleting a lot of entries. Unfortunately this is only really a short-term fix.

Florida delenda est!

I eventually gave up on trying to get MT (any version) to run on my new server location, so I installed WP. Works like a champ, and is easier to deal with. If I ever get enough traffic that dynamic generation becomes a drain on the server, then I'll just start generating archives like MT did.

Yes, it's all those humanities graduates in the media to blame. (via) You are a Tree! Scott has a new blog! Adopt a Blogger Today!

Fulltext RSS feeds suck So says Neil McIntosh. He does raise some valid points, especially about comments. <br /> <br />
