I'm trying out Google's new image ads, though I doubt there are many relevant Java-related image ads to display yet. I'd ask readers to enter a comment if they see one, but I'm turning comments off (for now at least) since I'm tired of deleting comment spam, even with MT-Blacklist.
Update: turns out that Movable Type does not have a configuration to globally turn off commenting. I've hacked my template to remove the comment links, but that makes everyone's existing comments disappear, and I'm afraid it doesn't actually stop spammers from leaving their spam.
Update 2: There is probably a plugin to do it, but I just edited the database directly. Comments are now visible but "closed": readers and spammers cannot add any new ones.
