If the result list is too large, please consider these hints
- Reduce the number of websites.
- Add more keywords.
- Use quotes for building terms from keywords. For example, the phrase banner image searches for all articles containing both words. However, "banner image" searches for the exact two-word phrase.

The Email Whitelister plugin has been updated to v1.01 to fix several bugs faced by people.
Also due to popular demand, I've released the Email Blacklister plugin which functions exactly like the Whitelister except it junks comments if the email address entered matches one on the blacklist. Currently the plugin is fairly basic and doesn't allow you to enter any wildcard or regex values. A future version will hopefully contain such functionality.
Happy antispamming!

PowerRebuild 1.1
Some of you may remember the RebuildBlogs plugin I had created that allowed you to selectively rebuild multiple blogs at once. Although the plugin worked as is with 3.2, it didn't take advantage of some of its newest features, namely...

MT RebuildBlogs
UPDATE: I've released v1.01 due to bugs faced with the paths to the plugin being incorrect on pre-3.16 systems. Download MT-RebuildBlogs_1.01.zip and follow the installation instructions. I often need to rebuild many blogs on my system because I make system...

Brad Choate, Tutorials, 41 KB, 779 words
Well, for no good reason I felt I wanted to have a "Ask Brad" column on my site. I'm getting tired of thinking up subjects to post about so I'm letting my audience do that for me. LazyWeb syndrome I guess. Anyhoo, here's how I set it up with Movable Type. No complicated hacks required, honest.
First of all, I created a new blog for "Ask Brad". Then I created an entry in that blog, titled "Question...

New features in this release: • Category transfer from one blog to another

Since my latest upgrade to 3.16, I haven't bothered to implement my quicktags hack so I was left with the default quicktags. Out of habit, I hit the quicktags to create the necessary HTML then enter my content, however with the default quicktags, you have to first select the text then click the quicktag. I decided to change that. Open up mt.js and find the formatStr function
function formatStr (e, v) {
and on the third line of this function delete this
if (!str) return;
That's it, now when you click the quicktag, it'll create the opening and closing tag.

I've just updated the RSS 2.0 index with full body, a link to extended entry and comments listing. I'm sorry it took so long, I thought that I had done this before. So now you've got three choices: • RSS 1.0 Excerpts - basically just excerpts of the post • RSS 2.0 Full Posts + Comments - This shows full post body, a link to extended entries and comments/trackbacks listing. This feed was obtained from this post fortysomething. • Atom 0.3 Full Body - Only full body, nothing more !
Again sorry for the delay, but I do recommend you all update your RSS 2.0 indexes with the one listed on fortysomething, this way it gives your readers a choice to which one they wish to subscribe to !

Six Apart ProNet Weblog, News, 19 KB, 896 words
We've all been conditioned over the last few years of using the web to find stuff by searching, instead of having to browse through a hierarchy to find information. Even Movable Type has had, since the early days, a basic internal search and replace feature. But we wanted to go further to make sure that pervasive searching was part of the platform with Movable Type 3.2.
Search (almost) everything
Movable Type 3.2 introduces a whole new search and replace interface. Now you can search not only entries, but a wide variety of items in the application: • Entries • Comments • Commenters • TrackBacks • Activity Log • Templates
What's more, once you're viewing your search results, all the power...

UPDATE Many people seem to be experiencing the following problems on 3.11: • Categories don't show in entry permalink on first save • When you save an entry, on the individual entry page, the next/previous link points to the first entry of your weblog
Add NoPlacementCache 0 to your mt.cfg file. NoPlacementCache is a variable that caches the category assignments for a particular entry. Currently, a category is assigned and the entry is built in the same operation (or request) and because of caching, that category assignment is getting ignored. If a category is assigned in its own request then it is recognized. There is a bug that is causing the categories to be loaded and cached prior to...

In the last post, I called for feature requests and unfortunately didn't get very many. None-the-less, I've been hard at work on the next version of MT Blogroll and due to time constraints can't test out all the new features across all databases and platforms like I used to. As a result, I'm calling for beta testers. If you wish to beta test the next version of MT Blogroll, simply leave a comment (ensure you fill in the email field so that I can contact you) with your specs, specifically I'll need: • Webserver and Operating System (e.g. Apache on Linux) • Movable Type version (I hope everyone's on 3.2!) • Database (e.g. MySQL, PostGreSQL etc. Users that don't use MySQL are highly required!) • MT Blogroll version you've currently got...

Learning Movable Type, Tutorials, 22 KB, 750 words
Fortunately for those of use who use Movable Type, there are several folks who devote much of their free time to understanding, exploring, and extending the capabilities of MT, and are willing to share that knowledge with the rest of us.
Here's my roundup of good sites (in addition to LMT) to investigate while learning how to use Movable Type (I will add to this list over time): Movable Type Support Forums - The MT Forums should be your first stop for questions regarding Movable Type. Before posting, read this thread which will explain general rules of conduct and the best way to find answers. Generally, play nice, read the MT Manual (3.2) ( for 3.1 and earlier) first, and try a search...

Someone asked me how you could add custom tags to the QuickTags toolbar. Its quite simple really, the js_quicktags has a commented part explaining it: function edButton(id, display, tagStart, tagEnd, open) { this.id = id; // used to name the toolbar button this.display = display; // label on button this.tagStart = tagStart; // open tag this.tagEnd = tagEnd; // close tag this.open = open; // set to -1 if tag does not need to be closed }
So you could just add something like this: edButtons[edButtons.length] = new edButton('ed_code' ,'code'...
