Movable Type Monday: Conference Call, Interviews and Proposals

May 5, 2008 | Filed Under Features, Movable Type | Leave a Comment

When first compiling my list of links for this week’s Movable Type Monday, I thought last week was quite quiet. Turns out I was wrong with a significant refactoring to major code coming in beta 5 of Movable Type Open Source (MTOS) 4.15 as well as several interviews and announcements by members in the […]

Movable Type Monday: Movable Type Day, PostOffice and MTOS 4.15b4

April 28, 2008 | Filed Under Features, Movable Type | 1 Comment

When writing last week’s Movable Type Monday, I decided to save a few items for this week to prevent them from getting overshadowed by Six Apart’s announcement of their new Services and Media divisions. This week, I’ll be looking at a number of exciting plugins that have released, the announcement of MT Day as well […]

Is Six Apart Services Killing Smaller Movable Type Designers and Developers?

April 22, 2008 | Filed Under Blog Consulting, Features, Movable Type | 6 Comments

The Six Apart announcement that they acquired a major Movable Type design firm have sparked some reactions. Personally, I’ve been debating whether I should look into Movable Type or not, now that it’s available in an open-source license and everything. Prior to that, it wasn’t an option for me, I like my platforms to be […]

Movable Type Monday Exclusive: Interview with Anil Dash on Six Apart Services and Media divisions

April 21, 2008 | Filed Under Features, Interviews, Movable Type | 4 Comments

This weekend saw a tremendous amount of activity from the Movable Type Open Source (MTOS) community with a new beta release, new plugins and community updates to the documentation. The biggest news of all, however, was the rumours that Six Apart had made a “game-changing” acquisition. Shortly after TechCrunch posted this rumour, I got in […]

BBC launches Blog Network portal, centralizes blogging activity

April 18, 2008 | Filed Under Movable Type, News | Leave a Comment

The BBC has launched its blog network, effectively centralizing and promoting its fifty-or-so home-grown blogs.
The BBC embraced blogging, at least in its simplest form, several years ago but seems keen to push them into the limelight. A number of the BBC’s journalists, DJs, presenters, and other staff maintain blogs, usually to support live events and […]

Movable Type Monday: Considering Security and Beta Test Updates

April 14, 2008 | Filed Under Features, Movable Type | 1 Comment

The primary focus of activity this week was around the Movable Type Open Source (MTOS) 4.15 beta test and the release of the second beta release. Before we dive into that information however, I thought I’d address one of the hot topics of the last week.

What Do You Really Need to Know About a Blogger to Admire Their Work?
May 15, 2008 | By Lorelle VanFossen | Leave a Comment

In an upcoming interview, you will read me say the following:
I hate labels and putting people in boxes. That’s why blogging and the web is so exciting to me and I’ve long been one of its stanchest fans and advocates. I don’t care if you are black, brown, green, yellow, or chartreuse. I don’t care […]

Partnering With a Larger Publisher - Week 3
May 15, 2008 | By Andrew G.R. | Leave a Comment

Knowing that I was robbing Peter to pay Paul, I tentatively entered into an agreement with US News and World Report to provide content for their “Outside Voices” career blog on a gratis basis.
So far, I do not regret this decision. I still think it’s a “resume” booster and increases blogosphere street cred. […]

Amazon MP3 Widget lets you Make Money
May 15, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

Amazon just released a MP3 widget featuring samples from selected music from their MP3 store, with buy buttons. That means money for you, since it’s an Amazon Associates thing. A must for music bloggers perhaps? That is, assuming you operate in an area where you can shop music from Amazon. That doesn’t include Europe, I’m […]
