Housekeeping.

It seems I’ve let things gather dust around here. But I won’t let it go a whole month without an update.

1. First off, Michael has retired his MintChaos Cheeze site and has moved into his new digs at mjmetts.com where he is busy showing off his skillz with his new camera. His old blog has moved here and all links/bookmarks to his site old site here are magically redirected to the appropriate place on mjmetts.com. Congratulations Michael, it’s looking good.
2. Mandy has joined the MintChaos blogwagon with her Blog, sweet blog. Now she can stop blogging vicariously through other people’s comment sections. ;-) Hers is our second “mother with a small child blog”. And just for the record, I added her to the Recent Hosted section before I read her post about me not doing that yet. :)
3. Thirdly, and most importantly to everyone who has a blog here. I have installed Jay Allen’s incredibly useful MT-Blacklist anti-comment spam plug-in. It works by blocking comments depending on the URLs that appear in as the comment author’s link or in the body of the message. I cleaned out everyone’s comment archives when I installed it and found about 60 spam comments dating back a couple of months. The current blacklist I’m using can always be found here. Many thanks for Jay for writing this. He did an incredible job with it. Installation only requires three files to be dropped in place. If anyone gets any comment spam that makes it through please let me know so I can add it to the local blacklist and submit it to the master blacklist that Jay maintains.
