Feel that? Nice, eh? That’s right, kids. We’ve upgraded to Movable Type 3.0 … ah, what a world of improvement! It’s like … like … oh, well, you know it really doesn’t look that different at all from out here, but it is certainly better on my end. The one thing you probably will notice is something called TypeKey registration. It’s free, first of all. Second of all, it is a brilliant little system that will allow you to login to make comments on any entry on this weblog. Thirdly (and most importantly), by requiring a TypePad login, I should be able to shut down these comment spammers that are constantly attaching unwanted advertisements to my archived entries. Admittedly, I like Texas No-Limit Poker and Region-Free DVDs and Cheap Drugs from Canada as much as the next guy, but I’m not advertising for them.
For now, the commenting system is a hybrid of the old way and the new way. You can either go sign-up for TypeKey and see your comment immediately, or you can comment the old way and see your comment after I approve it. Once everyone has a chance to be all official, I’ll probably make the comments TypeKey-only.
And there you have it. The next entry won’t just be about this silly site nonsense. I promise.
