Site updates

I've done a little housekeeping on my blog here. I finally got comments working once again. I had added a MovableType plugin to try and cut down on the immense amount of comment spam I get on my various blogs. And it worked too well, especially if you don't have it set up correctly! After much going 'round and 'round with MovableType support, I finally figured out it was all my fault and, after getting the plugin set up correctly, comments are back working and spam is gone!

I need to add that I am heartily impressed with MovableType support in general, and 'lisa' in specific. She worked long and hard, trying to figure out why my comments weren't working. And this for a non-paying customer who uses their free version! Certainly, support above and beyond the call of duty. And after that display of professionalism and courtesy, I probably should spring for the "Personal Basic" version, which would allow me to add additional authors to my blogs, as well as get listed on their "Recently Updated" list. To learn more about MovableType, the very popular blogging software I use on all my blogs, see here.

I also added three new Cocktail entries, and I cheated on two of them. this one and this one are backdated to more correctly track when we actually tasted these libations, as opposed to when I finally got around to typing them in. I especially recommend the latter entry, as it talks about a wonderful new Curaçao I was finally able to track down.
