Here is my MovableType development wishlist. These are the features I really wish my favorite content management system had. Alternately, these are the things I really wish I could do with MovableType, which the current version does in fact support, but I haven’t yet found a way to do. If someone knows how to do

blogTracker
You have probably seen several references on this site to Dan Sanderson‘s blogTracker utility. I really can’t tell you how wonderful this little tool is. But I realized that I can show you! Click here to see what blogTracker does for me. (No longer in use.) Then head over to Dan’s site and register yourself.
RAM
My computer has been misbehaving lately. It seems to be crashing constantly and the performance has been muddy. A few days ago I downloaded Cool Beans System Info, a nice little app that displays free RAM and processor usage. I realized that even though I have 256 MB of RAM, it seems like it’s all
