MT client for Mac Classic?

Christian Crumlish

A friend has started blogging with MT and she is still running OS 9 on her iBook. We were discussing the problems with the web interface, particularly the form-based text box, where there is a high risk of accidentally munging your own work. I showed her how to select all, copy, and paste into a sticky note and save that as a backup, but paradoxically, this takes away from the immediacy and convenience of working in the browser.

The solution is to save the post as a draft in the MT interface, I realized, but I also got to thinking about another alternative: using a desktop client. On my Powerbook I use kung-log, but is there an analogous application that runs on a Mac Classic?

Spammers find MT's open relay: Been busy holidayin' and doing other stuff lately, so a lot of the basic substrate of blog news and blog gossip is passing unremarked. By now, most MT users probably know that Movable Type is vulnerable as an open spam relay. If you are not using the "mail this entry" feature,... (Products)
