Sigh – the website is being hit with comment spam more than ever. I’ve employed wp-blacklist and it gets most of the spam but every so often some of the crap slips through. Hey-ho…not to worry. If you use WordPress the Weblog Tools Collection site is well worth a visit. Looks like some new comment moderation software is in development. Cool.

Kubrick
After sticking with a fairly default template I’ve updated to a new one – Kubrick. It’s still fairly simple and straightforward and I’ve not deviated much (at all) from the standard look but that will come in good time. Much prefer this look to the old one.
WordPress
After upgrading to Movable Type 3, and seeing the reaction elsewhere to the new licensing deals from Six Apart I felt relatively secure in that the deals didn’t affect me, I could still use a free version of Movable Type and I’d spent ages getting the look of my site ‘just so’ – no way was I moving.
That was until I looked at WordPress.
It has everything a blog writer could need, is php based and so incredibly easy to modify and is really easy to set-up. Within an hour I had a site set-up and all my posts from the old blog imported. I’ve never used an easier online tool. In the last hour I’ve added a plugin to switch styles and an Amazon Media Manager. Fantastic.
This is just night and day compared to Movable Type – just shows you what you can miss when you get complacent.
