I finally upgraded to MoveableType 3.212. I really wanted to upgrade, if just to get the Comment Moderation feature as comment spammers are bombarding my site pretty badly right now. Everyday I get about 20 pieces of new comment spam. This feature allows me to approve comments from unregistered users before they appear on the site. That doesn’t cut down the work for me, but at least it defeats the spammers’ purpose: free web advertising through search engines like Google.

I haven’t been reading blogs regularly these days and I just found out that Russell has started working for Yahoo!. Wow! Way to go! I have always enjoyed reading Russ’ posts (sometimes not completing them as they tend to be really long and I’m looking forward to any changes at Yahoo! that he will influence. Good luck, Russ. On another note, this image he has put together of the phones available in the US this Christmas is awesome.
