wordpress: February 2008 Archives

Mark Carey is one of the more active MovableType plugin developers. Some of his plugin have to be simply categorised as "cool". There's no other word that sums them up aptly, though I'm sure you could find plenty if you tried.

His latest plugin release is a stroke of genius - Wordpress Interface for Movable Type

It does pretty much what it says "on the tin" and replaces the MovableType "classic" interface with one that not only looks and feels like Wordpress, but also emulates a lot of the behaviour (from a UI perspective).

You can give it a whirl here  - username: demo pass: demo

Screenshots and more details on his original post

He may have done it almost as a joke, but it also shows how incredibly flexible Movable Type can be.

Evil thought - you could replace someone's WP install with this and they probably wouldn't even notice!

MovableType Gets Ping!

Byrne Reese is a really cool guy who seems to come up with cool stuff on a regular basis.

He's just released a small plugin for Movable Type that will bring "pingback" to Movable Type and make the transition from Wordpress that bit easier for users.

Very cool!

(It's implemented here as of 5 minutes ago, but may explode!)
