Movable Type releases version 2.51.
This is primarily a bug fix release. See the changelog if you have been experiencing a problem with 2.5 and to determine if it was fixed in 2.51.Ben Trott tells me my problem with using a passphrase to ping a blog was due to a bug in 2.5, since fixed. (The syntax of passphrase-protected pings has changed as well.)
This release also adds two new features:
- A Windows right-click menu item called "MT It!" allows you to use the bookmarklet from your right-click menu. If you're running Windows, you can add this menu item through the "Set Up Bookmarklets" screen in Movable Type. Thanks to Anil Dash.
An <MTElse> tag that can be used globally to provide an "else" condition for any conditional tag. (more information) Thanks to Brad Choate.

I got my copy of We Blog from Amazon today, and I received Jesse James Garrett's The Elements of User Experience, a beautifully designed explication of his seminal model of the same name.
For reviewing purposes, though, I'm afraid these go behind my reviews in progress (The Weblog Handbook, We've Got Blog, and Essential Blogging. I wonder if Biz Stone, Genius, would send me a free copy of his book for review?
