MT-Blacklist

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

As many of you know, over at the child abuse site, I use Movable Type, and I have often raved about how well MT-Blacklist works to keep out comment spam. Well, thanks to a pointer from Christine, I see this morning that there is a bug in the latest version of MT-Blacklist. The rather simple workaround for right now is to simply not delete any blogs. (It seems that deleting a blog when using MT-Blacklist actually causes two to be deleted.) Since I only have one blog over there, I’m not overly concerned about it, but thought I would pass along the warning to anyone who might be using it.

    Remember when I said I was going to take that $40 I earned doing a little side tech support and use it to repay some of the places that have helped me be better at my job. Well, I wound up making a $20 donation to Spywareinfo.com, and purchasing two paid subscriptions to newsletters that…

    I missed this over the weekend, but Dwight Silverman does a good job of breaking down the $100 PC available during the Thanksgiving Shopping spree. Surprise, surprise, the $100 for a PC really isn’t quite the deal it appears to be. It would be nice if retailers could go the route Dwight suggests, and just…
