"Upgrading" MovableType
Fed up with the lack of anti-spam plug-in for MovableType 3.1x I've decided to once again tried to upgrade to MovableType 3.2.
Once again I was thwarted by the cryptic Perl error messages. This time though I had my resolve to use MovableType 3.2. I found out that installing it fresh seems to work, so rather than doing an "upgrade" I exported the content of my old blogs and imported back to the new installation.
It seems to work good enough, but it does have a few drawbacks:
1) Archives by default are stored in the root blog directory. I didn't realise this because before all my archives are neatly stored under the "archives" directory.
2) MT 3.2 seems to generate different filename than the MT 3.1x for items with longer name.This is the new filename while this is the old one. I suspect a few my internal links will be broken if I don't leave the old files.
But apart from those two issues, arguably quite bad if a blog is popular but mine is not, everything seems to be working quite well.
Next step is to customise the styles, at the moment both blog have the standard styles that come with the default install. It actually looks better than my old one :)
