MovableType to be GPLed. I’ll take “Two Years Too Late” for $400, please, Alex.

Suw Charman takes on SixApart over the crappy state of MovableType today. The load caused by comment spam (and their crappy “search” engine) were the main reasons why I defected to my own Django-powered system in December. (Good comments thread on this post too)

The shitty search built into MovableType has been hammering my server. Hopefully this’ll be a decent drop-in replacement.

MT plugin that adds “Deny” entries to your .htaccess file when someone’s clobbering you with comment spam, saving you the CPU cycles. I’ve installed it — if it works, I’ll be giddy as a schoolgirl.

Ooh! I think I know how I’m spending this evening.

The hugely-successful Akismet anti-comment-spam plugin for Wordpress has been ported to MT.

MovableType plugin to reconfigure the “fields” for your blog entries. Might install this, just so that I can stop storing the “via” links for Groovy Links in the “Excerpt” field.

Tags solution for MovableType. I’m taking this for a bit of a roadtest at the moment.
