No More Preview

I finally got rid of the Movable Type plugin, MT-Approval, that forced readers to preview all comments before posting them. The plugin blocks bots from spamming the hell out of anyone's blog and on that account it worked gangbusters. But it was a pain in the ass. I'm using something now called MT-Blacklist that maintains a database of known spammers and prevents them from posting comments. I don't know if this will make any difference to how people use the site, the change should be relatively transparent, but I thought I'd let you know anyhow.
