Since my blog was being overwhelmed with spam, I decided it was time to update the MT-Blacklist program I was using. To my surprise, I found that it no longer exists! It has been folded into the core MT software (with a very nice note from the original author). Thus, I had to bite the bullet and upgrade from MovableType 2.64 to 3.2.

I was a bit nervous, as I am not very Perl-savvy, but the process went smoothly. I followed the installation instructions and ran into only one problem - the usual Internal Error 500. Using this useful link, the problem was quickly identified - I needed to update the Perl path on all my cgi pages. Yucky, but it worked. Or at least I think it worked. Which is why I creating this test post.
