The Problem is Partially Solved
After many stops and starts, and after some great and quick help from Six Apart, the Psycho Sensei has successfully upgraded to the latest version of the Movable Type software. Unfortunately, only part of the new feature set seems to be working. There is a provision for registration and authentication before you are allowed to post comments to the blog through a strange service called TypeKey, which is supposed to allow you to post to blogs. So I registered the site with them, registered myself with them, etc. and then tried to post a comment. It wouldn't let me. So I gave up and turned off that part, and switched things around so that now I will be able to look at comments before they get posted. So Psycho Sensei comments are back. Hooray!! And spammer comments are RIGHT OUT! Hooray again!!!
Comments
I've had a similar experience. I couldn't get TypeKey to work in the ten minutes or so that I had time to dedicate to it... but by allowing me to approve comments before they are posted has solved the problem of comment-spammers. A glorious "Huzah!" to MoveableType 3.0!
