After reading through the comments, <a href=\"http:\/\/mollom.com\/\">mollom<\/a> seemed like a great way to avoid captcha and comment moderation, and I decided to give it a try.  However, mollom didn&#8217;t work on my ancient version of wordpress (2.0).  This being a weekend I&#8217;m heading out of town, it seemed like the perfect time to upgrade my wordpress site (the backend&#8211;I hope you&#8217;ll notice that the soothing front end look and feel hasn&#8217;t changed).<\/p>\n<p>I browsed through <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/category\/releases\/\">the releases list<\/a> to find the oldest one with automatic upgrade functionality, and then followed the quite painless <a href=\"http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Upgrading_WordPress\">upgrade guide<\/a>.  From there, it was a pretty simple matter to automagically upgrade to 3.0.  Shockingly easy.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it looks like there are a few snafus&#8211;the home page didn&#8217;t have a sidebar because of post content for a bit, my tagging plugin doesn&#8217;t appear to be compatible with this version of wordpress&#8211;but it looks like all the content is there.
