It’s been a while since I’ve posted, almost two years. I got sick of Movable Type. The pings and trackback spamming were driving me insane. It’s pretty awful when managing the blog frustrates you to the point that you don’t blog. With Wordpress, I can hopefully start again. There’s been so much going on lately that I have to comment on it.
I managed to export all my old posts from MT and it was a 28 MB file. This was a pain to try to import into WordPress. I looked at the export and almost all of it is spam pings and trackbacks. I truncated the mt_tbping and mt_trackback tables. Now my export is only 300k. Wow, that was a lot of spam. I’ll probably look through it later to see where it came from to see if there’s something to learn.

The funny thing is, I look through some of these old posts and I wonder why I even bothered. I’m sure it’ll help my PageRank though. lol.
