Upgrade to Movable Type 3.1

I’ve been posting less frequently lately, but now my posts tend to be longer and more thought out. Because of the changing nature of my writing on this site, I’ve been thinking about enabling comments and trackbacks. However, I’ve been worried about spam (I admin another MT-based blog, and spam comments can be a nuisance.)

So tonight I upgraded the site to MT 3.1 and its improved TypeKey registration system. I’ll start enabling comments on select posts from now on. (BTW, there may be broken things along the way—please let me know if you find anything horribly out of place.)

Update: I’m having problems getting TypeKey to work, so I’ve opened comments to unregistered users for the time being. I’m getting an error that says “The site you’re trying to comment on has not signed up for this feature. Please inform the site owner.” I don’t really have time to play with this right now; it’ll have to stay as is for the time being.

    Have you gotten this resolved yet? I’m having the same issue.

    Thanks,

    Unfortunately I haven’t. But to be frank, I haven’t had much time to fiddle around with it since I wrote this.

    Fortunately, with the introduction of the new nofollow attriute, comment spam may soon be a scourge of the past! (One can only hope!)
