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.

    Discussion over at Lockergnome about Google’s ability to locate people when you type in their telephone number. If you read the comments it’s obvious that I think the whole thing is overblown, and things like this are being used by certain people to scare people about using the internet. What do you think? I’ll be…

    Spent a lot of time last night trying to find a work-around for her blog. Included in that was creating a new blog and seeing if it would publish to the server, but nothing seemed to work. Finally this morning, during a few moments of down time at work (It’s been a busy morning!) I…
