I just updated Movable Type to the latest current version (3.2). I did this because I’d received some spam comments, had gone to “de-spam” them, and discovered that the old MT-Blacklist spam plugin was no longer fully working. (It had blocked the comments, but wouldn’t let me add the posters into my blacklist.) In reading up, Movable Type 3.2 had these filters built in and that plugin was now obsolete. I had a bit of a scare when it wouldn’t perform the upgrade until I figured things out. But things seem to be working now. The new interface (administrative anyway) seems nicer.
Now I need to see if I can upgrade Michelle’s installation too…
