Movable Type 2.5 released

Christian Crumlish

Ben and Mena Trott today released version 2.5 of Movable Type on the one-year anniversary of its initial release.

Some of the changes include:

  • An integrated version of Jay Allen's mt-search plug-in, called public search

  • More accessible default templates that follow Mark Pilgrim's Dive into Accessbility guidelines

  • A new default stylesheet (it was the date on the sample that made me realize something had changed!)

  • A "Keywords/Metadata" field added to the edit entry screen

  • Improved update and trackback ping features

  • Optional TrackBack "auto-discovery"


They've also incorporated the survey as a step before downloading, which should help them gather installed-based figures in the future.

Nonprofit weblogs redux: I just tweaked up my post about weblog strategies for nonprofits from last Friday (although I still haven't discussed it with Dave Pollard, as I was planning to do), and submitted my proposal to CompuMentor. I really enjoyed the exercise of thinking through how nonprofits can use weblogs (and syndication, and... (People Power)
