After the recent weeks of comment spam and weird traffic to this site originating from Chinese IP addresses, I’ve finally decided to dump Movable Type as my content management system and move to WordPress. I’m hoping that removing CGI scripts from my site and relying on PHP instead will mean that the attacks on my site will stop and the spamming will be diminished. It appears that WordPress as better anti-spam support than Movable Type and so it will be interesting to see what happens next.

Of course, I’ve not quite finished this project yet – it is an ongoing work – so expect bits to drop off, wither and die over the coming days. I am hoping that this will encourage me to make more postings.
