MovableType problems

Many of us on SB are having problems with Movable Type today. Some of us can post OK, some can post only very short posts with no links and/or no mention of dr*gs etc. Others cannot post at all.

A bit of blog housekeeping here... Normally, I find out about new comments on my blog through e-mail notifications that get sent to me shortly after you, the reader and commenter, post your comments. I find it much easier simply to scroll through the e-mails and see what the reaction is to my posts…

-- Did that get through?

Obviously, it went through. I doubt it would have if you had a link in there, but it would be interesting to know if I would be able to rescue it from the "Junk comments" folder or if it would not even get there.

I tried to post something (a post, not a comment) that had the word "sex" in it and it failed.
