| | Movable Type 3.0 and Eating. |
 | | Movable Type, the software that runs this and thousands of other blogs, is no longer going to be free. | | | In many ways, Movable Type was treated by the community like a Free Software project, which it wasn't. |

| | O'Reilly Network: Developing Movable Type Plug-ins |
| | As I've mentioned, Movable Type provides developers with a framework to easily and elegantly extend the base functionality of the system using OO Perl. | | | One of the most sophisticated and powerful is Movable Type, developed by Ben and Mena Trott of Six Apart. | | | Written in a highly modular Perl object-oriented (OO) style, Movable Type (MT) has an open code base (it's not open source—an important distinction) that makes the browser-based tool quite flexible and easily modifiable to adapt to any number of publishing applications. |

| | Freedom 0 [dive into mark] |
| | Movable Type has never been Free Software, as defined by the Free Software Foundation. | | | I do not have the freedom to run the program for any purpose; I only have the limited set of freedoms that Six Apart chooses to bestow upon me, and every new version seems to bestow fewer and fewer freedoms. | | | It has never been open source software, as defined by the Open Source Initiative. |

| | Due to the highly-flexible nature of Movable Type, there are countless other creative applications of the software. | | | In recent announcements, Six Apart has announcement that the next version of MT will be Movable Type 3.0, which is a free upgrade to the current versions. | | | Creative use of the customization tools available have lead to many innovative uses of the software. |

| | Neowin.net -> Comparative: WordPress versus Movable Type |
| | Movable Type, with its far more widespread user base, is much easier to get help with. | | | With the recent outcry over Movable Type's decision to move to a paid model for version 3.0, I thought I would briefly review one of the viable free alternatives for bloggers fleeing from Movable Type. | | | Both systems are equally helpful while setting up users (authors). |

| | Movable Type 3.0 enhances the software's support for plugins, components written in Perl that add functionality such as weather information, author credits, and even direct MySQL access. | | | The software can be extended with Perl scripts that are executed by placing HTML-style tags and attributes in templates, the same technique employed by the software itself. | | | I submitted a change to the Feed Validator documentation that was picked up by Sam Ruby this evening: a new answer to the question "How do I make Movable Type output valid RSS 2.0? |

| | Movable Type's bookmarklet structure allows you to customize the layout and fields on your bookmarklet page; for example, you may wish to add the ability to add excerpts through the bookmarklet window. | | | In fact, if your computer is always online, you can install Movable Type directly onto your own computer—at least I know this is possible with a Mac running OS X with an Apache server, I'm sure it's possible with a Linux box, and it's probably doable with Windows as well. | | | To access a Radio installation from anywhere, you need to make sure that your main computer is visible on the Net (and not protected by a firewall), and then log into it remotely. |

| | A Whole Features: Beyond the Blog |
| | I know the Movable Type folks have talked about creating a developer program and after doing things like this with MT, I would suggest that MT someday become flexible enough to where a developer could customize the interface to posting for client sites. | | | I've been building database-backed websites for the past four years and there's one simple reason I love building them: once you've done the extra work and created the code to output a single page, you can then output ten thousand pages. | | | I use a database application whenever I have content that repeats and follows a distinct pattern. |

| | padawan.info: Movable Type vs. ExpressionEngine — A comparison |
| | There is no published roadmap for it, but while version 3.0 is no big departure from the past, one can expect that version 3.1 will be the one that moves MT really further from the current MT 2.66. | | | With this goals and constraints in mind, I ended up comparing Six Apart's Movable Type 3 and pMachine's ExpressionEngine 1.0. | | | In a multi-author solution, this is even more powerful as certain groups could post to one content type, but not another. |

| | From exploring Movable Type's template-driven publishing system to developing your own plug-ins, here's what you need to know to create and maintain sites as adaptable as the Web itself. | | | It looks like it was rushed to press and many of the examples don't quite work on my provider's server configuration, e.g., I don't have access to the unix command line so isn't always easy to envision the file structures. | | | Since many of the concepts in blogging software are new to me, I would have appreciated a clearer explaination in the introduction, perhaps with some graphic illustrations. |

| | Ben Hammersley: Atom API in Movable Type |
| | It’s the library that powers Movable Type’s side of the API, so we know it’s robust. | | | Sometimes we want to upload files to MT: images, for example, or other types of media file. | | | Being in XML, I can use a variety of tools on the results that the Atom API throws back at me. XML::Atom requires either XML::LibXML or XML::XPath as a prerequisite to it being installed, so straight away we can use DOM or XPath to do our querying. |
