I was testing Yuji Takayama-san's most excellent PostVox plug-in for Movable Type:

If you're an MT user I highly recommend it. I plan on using it with djchall.com, once I move that site to a server that contains XML::Parser.
]]>The other numbers keep getting smaller, but the number of cases requiring repro goes up, *sigh*.
It's getting there--check out this screenshot. Syntax high-lighting, line numbers, helpful error messages that tell you when you've used a template tag incorrectly? This is some ass-kicking shit.
After all the recent season and series finales, what are you watching on TV these days?
Nothing, really. I've been playing around with Movable Type 4 at night instead of watching TV.
Movable Type is so epic. Look at that beauteous tag cloud. If you
haven't checked out djchall.com, I suggest you do (f you like music
news and links, that is.)
Now available at http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/
Both the classic and new enterprise versions.
The new version of Vox that was just released allows one to cross-post to Typepad. Now if Vox only supported cross-posting to one's Movable Type blog as well-that would be truly epic.
We're getting closer to crazy delicious. After my post last night about using MovableType as a CMS for the Trizzle Project site, Ben Trott was nice enough to suggest that I try using dynamic publishing. He also supplied a link to the documentation that I probably should have looked at before going ahead... but I didn't, and as a result I completely broke publishing my blog. No matter what I did, I just got an Apache server error, even after following the instructions that Ben had pointed me too. I decided to back off on dynamic publishing until I understand MT better.
So I deleted my existing blog publishing directory, rebuilt my site with static pages, and that fixed the probems. Then I decided to try something else-having MT produce php pages in my site instead of html. My hope was that I could then put the trizzle php code into the
I copied my external main-index.html template file and renamed it main-index.php, then pointed to it in MT's template options for index.html. Rebuilt the site, and everything worked fine. After that, I put some test php code in my main-index.php file and lo and behold, it executed once I rebuilt the file. Now proceeding with more confidence (which required some not very robust editing of php require paths-one thing I am going to have to figure out how to organize my site directories under this new regime) I put in some code from the old trizzle index.php site, and it worked!
If you look at the screenshot below, you will see a MovableType produced index page, but with a "Trizzle Tags" content module on the left that is producing the Trizzle tag cloud using php code.
Edit: updated the screenshot after more tweaking of the css, and adding some real content.
