At some point mt-blacklist stopped working for me and spammers took over. So I pulled the old blog down and upgraded to MT 3.0. The look and feel is the default one and I will slowly bring back my old templates.
Now that my Wireless network is working and the new Dell laptop is in my hands, the regular postings will start.
MT 3.1 is on its way. You might want to hold on until that before you make a lot of changes. BTW MT Blacklist 2 is also out and should most probably be bundled with MT 3.1
