Upgrade postponed

The following was posted at 16:40:

For reasons I don't want to advertise too widely, my installation of Movable Type 2.661 has become vulnerable to spam attack.  I could hack in a workaround, but I think this might be a suitable opportunity to upgrade the whole thing to MT 3.12 and MT-Blacklist 2.

I'd like to say this will be seamless, but I have some serious doubts, so this is advance warning: unless I lose my nerve, I'm about to make changes which could kill the blog outright.  If it goes down, it will be back, hopefully within hours rather than days!

Thankfully, I was able to repair the existing installation quite readily, so the more ambitious work is postponed indefinitely.
