SpamLookup plugin for M.T

SpamLookup is a M.T plugin for identifying and eliminating weblog trackback and comment spam. Works with M.T 3.1 but is rolled in to M.T 3.2

So…. we really do need to have a conversation about blogging software directions. It seems to me we have three options:

1. Rely solely on the blogging module coming up for Moodle
2. Stay with Moveable Type v2.61. Pro — it works. Con — but for how long? Cumbersome to set up, and not likely to be used much.
3. Move to M.T v3.x. Pro — supported, and lotsa useful plugins. Cons — costs money for licence.
4. Move to Wordpress? Pro — it’s free, has built-in wiki. Cons — needs MySQL & Php. Pro — no ‘rebuilds’, easier to set up. Cons — single blog per user.
