Hooking up AmphetaDesk to Movable Type @ Radio Free Blogistan

October 9, 2003

Christian Crumlish

Salon blogger Andrew Bayer has recently migrated his weblog from Radio to Movable Type, which lacks a built-in posting aggregrator. To remedy this, he has figured out a way to hook up Amphetadesk to MT. Very nice.

Andrew, did you have to hack AmphetaDesk or MT or both? Either way, please share what you've learned with the respective developers or user communities!
