Flashes of Panic

It turns out that Kasia’s comment spam hack with mod_rewrite also blocks a desktop weblog client (like ecto) from posting. To make another exception, add this line:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.mt-xmlrpc.cgi*

I’d put this in a comment, but she’s turning off comments on older posts, something I should set up someday as well. Most of my spam seems to be targeted at old stuff. (On the other hand, just an hour ago I had a legitimate comment on a post from early July.)

Didn’t I say I could cause trouble for myself with this tool, though?
