MovableType 4 and Me

The folks over at sixApart recently launched an iPhone-centric MovableType admin tool. The plugin only works with version 4 of MT. This blog was running version 3. The only logical thing to do, really was to upgrade MT. So this blog has a new version, a new template (minimalist what?), and a new feed url - though the old one should still work. I'm still getting used to the template and plugin tools in MT-4, and I'm not quite sure how I feel about them at this point. But everything seems a lot faster, and the code is much cleaner... oh, and the admin tool is a 100% improvement.

The style is most likely going to change a lot in the coming days. I was never really happy with the old template, but never had the time to change it. I was inspired by A Brief Message, a new project from Liz Danzico and Khoi Vinh. They took a simple approach that's kind of refreshing, what with all the clutter and hype about the blogosphere. As an aside, the most recent post is a good one - by ITP's own Clay Shirky. I heartily endorse.
