That, my friends, is what spammers can do to you. Partly my fault, I guess; it has been years since I upgraded my blog software, and just as long since I have taken any evasive maneuvers in regards to my comments script. Fortunately, the web host only shut down the comment script file and has not suspended my account or shut down my scripting abilities altogether. So among other things on my “to do” list today, I’ll have to reshuffle my blog software to get comments working again, and then get to work this month on upgrading the blog software–either to the newest Movable Type, or (my long-term intention) switching to WordPress.

Pardon any inconveniences while this is taking place. Comments should be up again in a few hours.

Update: Comments are back up. More on other changes as I get around to them…
