It was only a matter of time until the comments in my blog fell prey to the spammers. However, like most of those blogging on MT, the installation of MT-Blacklist, the Movable Type anti-spam plugin has helped me cleanse the existing spam and guard against future attacks.
All this was made painlessly simple and ridiculously easy by the ever-smiling provider of inestimable help and support that is my buddy Chuck. bignoseduglyguy.com is hosted by his excellent hosting operation Thrust Networks and if you think I am saying this because he's i) a friend and ii) he hosts me for nothing, you are i) right and ii) wrong because I just recalled I am way overdue with my fee! Chuck, I'm heading over to PayPal now so please don't pull the plug....
Don't hold your breath. It only works for a short time, and requires an obscene amount of regular maintenance to keep up. I turned comments off...I'm waiting for MT 3.0, which can require registration to post.
