I recently installed the “Blacklist”:http://www.jayallen.org/projects/mt-blacklist/ plugin and “MT Textile 2.0”:http://bradchoate.com/mt-plugins/textile.
I have not received a lot of comment spam, but I wanted to try an eliminate it if I can. At some point if the spammers keep it up I’ll have to turn comments off.

I also wanted to try Brad Choate’s MTextile plugin for formatting my entries. I am using the Firefox browser more and more lately and it does not support the text formatting tools that are displayed in Windows Explore. I especially like the wiki-like formatting of bulleted lists. The biggest drawback is that iif you want to export your entries down the road, they will contain Textile formatting, making it harder to import into a system that does not support Textile.
