Just finished doing upgrades of both the Movable Type installation that this blog runs on, and of the software the forums run on. The new version of Movable Type is aimed at helping with comment spam and server issues surrounding the countless comment attempts, while the PHPBB upgrade is because of a security issue.
I’m fairly certain that both went off without a hitch, but if you run into something that’s not working, please let me know!
Anyone who spends as much time as I do online, and who is an outspoken survivor, inevitably gets bombarded with lots of requests to share information to their readers. Like most of you, I get a lot of those, and if it’s something that I think survivors might benefit from, I’m more than happy to….
A couple of new ways, and a reminder of the other ways you can get new posts from the site without actually having to visit the site and check for new entries. Of course, you are always encouraged to come to the site and leave comments! 🙂 For the Child Abuse Survivor Blog, you can…

Well, as we start of 2021, here’s something you can do that would help not only me, but potential people in your social circles who are feeling alone right now.
Would you share this website with them?
OK, so I changed my mind on the comments. Mostly, spammers changed my mind for me. Making the comments on all entries over 30 days old moderated kept the junk from hitting the live site, which I’m happy about, and it seemed like a good idea at the time. But 350 moderated comments later, I’m…
My apologies. I inadvertantly forgot to turn on the “require regsitration” feature of the forums when I moved everything and a couple of folks left comments without registering. Oops!
