After a long wait, yesterday I upgraded this blog to 1.6.1 version. I have been very sceptical about it since long coz I use custom modules / extensions / themes and thought that the upgrade will take a lot of time. But it wasn’t as complex and as time consuming as I thought it would be.
My main motivation for upgrading was to get the comment moderation with spam filters and reCaptcha enabled commenting system. It was all worth the effort.
The only problem that I faced was to delete all of the old spam comments (around 1500). Fortunately the BE.net’s twitter handle (@blogenginenet) helped me out by pointing to this thread -

Thanks to @blogenginenet for such a prompt response else it would have taken me long to delete all of that manually (unless I’d have written some script of my own). The only ugly part is that I lost all of my old comments, but I guess I can live with that!
I am happy, am blogging again! :)
