Movable Type Upgrade to 3.2
Posted by Stuart at 01:14 PM on September 04, 2005The last two days I have been feeling withdrawal symptoms from my website, mostly because the software that runs it was not working and I didn't know how to fix it.
Late on Friday night I tried to upgrade to Movable Type 3.2. Normally, the upgrades go very smoothly, but not this time. Everything looked like it was working, but none of the buttons in the application worked. So that meant that I couldn't make any changes or add any new posts to the site.
But, after reading the MT User Forums and tweaking this and that, it seems to finally be up and running smoothly. Let's hope it stays that way!
Update: The new version of Movable Type looks pretty sweet. From what it looks like, it should handle my great nemesis -- comment spam -- much better than old versions. The spam got so bad that I went through all 600+ entries and turned off the comments. But now, I've gone back to the oldest posts and re-opened them. If the spam is controllable, I'll open the rest.
Haha. Morrie, I figured that no one would read this site in the 9 minutes it took me to replace "asdrfasdf" with the post above. What you saw was just a test. Guess it worked! :)
Is this some new form of Sudoku? :}.
