new MovableType
Yowza! MovableType 2.0 was released today. Let’s see how long it takes to upgrade / backup / install / rediscover / redesign / implement / play with my new toy!
Bloglet – Notify System
Wow! Bloglet looks cool as heck. It allows readers to subscribe to your blog as an eMail service. At the end of each day, it will eMail subscribers all of your posts (or excerpts!) from that day. Currently it only works with Blogger, but I am hoping that Ben and Mena will add support to
MT Fix
Here is the fix for the MovableType “unitialized value at lib/MT/App/CMS.pm line 999” error. And here’s a special link from Microsoft that should be very useful to many people.
Send Entry
I just read on the MovableType site that Ben and Mena are getting ready to release MT version 2.0, and it will include a ‘send this entry’ feature similar to the one I’ve implemented on my blogs. So … since they are the experts, I’m not going to do any more development or write a

SendMail
This article, Setting Up Form Mail, was a tremendous help in my latest project. Soon you will be able to send any MT entry via eMail. How cool is that? Check out my Hemingway blog! Each individual post has this feature in place. w00t! I am an excited nerd now!
