Migrating
As you might be able to tell, I'm migrating servers from Earthlink to Atlanta based Corner Host at the year old advice of Greg Greene. One of the reasons for migrating is that I wanted to upgrade Movable Type (not a problem) and use MySQL (problem) to manage the content. As you may have noticed, comment spam had gotten a little out of control, and when I migrated the blog I was able to delete most of it, and out of over 3,000 comments, over 2,000 were spam.
One of the consequences of this is that I'm testing out requiring commenters to register with TypePad, which shouldn't be too much of a hassle. If you have your own MT blog you've probably already got a log-in and if not signing up will allow you to comment on pretty much every other MT blog out there.
I may switch to allow unregistered comments as well, we'll see how it goes. As always, email me at chrisishardcore@mindspring.com (and remember to fill out the Spam Blocker request) if you've got any questions.

Looks good so far, Chris. Let us know when your domain finally migrates through DNS.

Woo, it works. I had a TypeKey account already, as I post on bravesjournal.com a lot. The comments look oddly formatted in my browser... Like the font is a bit too large to fit in the size window that opens?
