Spam trackbacks!

Sunday, November 28th, 2004

It had to happen. I finally got a spam trackback today. I've deleted it, as I did with spam comments before, but I really hope it doesn't become too frequent, because I couldn't cope with the drudgery and annoyance. And unlike comments, where registration system can be introduced, I can't ...

Movable Type 3.0

Wednesday, May 19th, 2004

Blogs being blogs there has been widespread coverage of the release of MT 3.0. Now Mena Trott has asked for feedback on their proposed packages and pricing plans. Specifically, she has asked people to outline how they are using MT at the moment, with the implication that this will demonstrate ...

There have been some more changes to funferal's layout, for those who follow such things. First, 'Meta' items - site news - now appear in the sidebar, but not in the main listing. Second, there have been a range of minor layout changes - such as now only listing 4 essays, ...
