Well, I've successfully upgraded the blog to Movable Type version 3.2. It seems likely that most people won't notice (unless I change the stylesheet, but we'll see). The biggest thing that people should notice is that the new software should allow a little better management of comment spam. Ideally, the comment spam will be automatically handled in a way that is better than before. Previously, I had to basically add the spammer's site to a blacklist. Now, I hopefully will be able to train my blogging software to recognize this scourge and dispense with it.
As I get comments, I can also approve commenters for instant publication. After your first post, this should eliminate the delay of me having to approve every comment. It was a necessary evil at the time, but it was still evil.
Finally, I've installed a few new plugins that I may play around with, but only when I have time. Which may be a while. I bought two books recently: I haven't read either of them. Maybe by the end of November, I'll be able to at least do that.
