just want to say thank you to

jay allen at jay allen.org for making MT_Blacklist .
i’ve spent a pleasant half hour installing and configuring this great addon plugin for the MovableType weblog I use.
recently blog comment spam has been a real problem. spammers send out bots that attack weblogs and fill them with spurious spam.. i’ve been getting upwards of twenty bogus spam comments a day. the idea is that search engines eventually catalogue the blogs and pickup all the bogus comments and URL and this influences the spammers URL in a search…

MT_weblog seems to be the best shield against comment spam and also includes functionality to clean all the old entries. I used to have to do this by hand and now it’s just a button click. very happy.

on slightly less good news Mark who has the new 2.1 engine is having some problems and has not yet shipped it to me… so i continue to wait. maybe next week ? i’ll keep you posted.

and i’ve the annual return for akciddento to do… what joy.
