My site is getting slammed by spammers right now for some reason, and Movable Type’s spam filters are just not doing the trick. Along with countless hundreds of spam comments that get automatically junked every hour, dozens have been getting through, at least for moderation if not actually getting published. It’s really irritating, and Movable Type’s templates have changed so much since they started that there’s no easy way to just flick a switch to add a CAPTCHA challenge. So… for now, I’m turning off comments.
I’m going to have to spend some nerd time figuring out if I want to stick with Movable Type. I use it on a few sites here, but this is the only place I use it. Maybe starting afresh with some new templates, I can get it working nicely and avoid the unpleasant task of weeding out spam. We shall see.
Meantime, the weather has been beautiful, and I have no complaints of consequence. I just want to figure out how I’m getting back to NH this fall for my cousin’s wedding.
UPDATE — Comments are turned on again. I messed around with Movable Type, installed a plugin that I hope will help. We’ll see how it goes.

This should be working now, and hopefully be relatively spamless.
