So, I'll probably be keeping schtum today. More than made up for it yesterday, I think.
Did want to mention (for the folks not on the mailing list) that MT-Blacklist v1.62 beta final is live and direct, as is an updated (as of 12/10) MT-Blacklist Master Copy.
And I realized that after sternly admonishing folks to update their blacklist, I neglected to explain how to update your blacklist. Luckily, Jay got it all under control.
If you're still not running the plugin, installation is a breeze, and it leaves your blog minty-fresh. Give it a go.
And that's it, I'm going to. . . work.
Pssst. Not beta... :-)
D'OH!
Fixed. And let this be a valuable lesson to you kids.
Don't copy and paste the title of the developer's blog entry. :-)
Oooooooooh sometimes I really HATE Safari's over aggressive auto-complete feature. I deleted that 'beta' part of the title, tabbed out and then later tabbed through the title field. When I did that, Safari altered the title to that of a previous post.
So yeah. Now I see why people are posting about this new "beta". Grrrrr. :-)
ohh....does it really work? i've been seeing a huge increase of spam lately, so i was thinking of installing it.
yano, it works great.
And I'm not just saying that because the guy who wrote it posted the comment right before yours. :-)
Seriously, I rarely have to manually delete spam since installing it; most of the bots/URLs are in the blacklist database, so the posts get rejected before they even appear.
Give it a go. Couldn't hurt, will definitely help.
