MovableType, HomeSite and satanic cults







MovableType, HomeSite and satanic cults

MovableType, HomeSite and satanic cults 05/15/2004 04:03 PM

In the midst of the uproar about MovableType's recent licensing change, it's nice to see a few rational comments.

Although the situations are obviously different, the uproar reminds me of when I started charging for HomeSite. You see, the first version of HomeSite was free, but after months of providing free software - and free support - I decided I needed to start charging for it. It was impossible to handle my full-time job and work on HomeSite, so I had to give up one of them. My day job paid well, but it wasn't much fun - so the choice was obvious.

Now, I announced that I'd be charging for the second version of HomeSite several months in advance, so I was completely unprepared for the uproar once the price went into place. Messages similar to this Usenet post hit my inbox, and my support forums were peppered with personal attacks.

Having been where the Six Apart crew are now, can I make a suggestion to those who are flaming them? Even if you live in some bizarro universe that equates earning a living with belonging to a satanic cult, if you're really not willing to pay for MovableType, at least have the courtesy to thank them for the free ride up to this point.

I don't think I mentioned that Movable Type 3.0 absolutely rocks. I have been using it for about a week, but I haven't had time to make TypeKey work and of course upgrading required some template changes and wiped out my local hacks, but except for a few cosmetic things I think most things are working alright again. The UI in 3.0 is much slicker than in 2.6 and it's much better about letting you delete spam than 2.6 was,...

MovableType New Pricing is Outstanding


MovableType New Pricing is Outstanding 06/18/2004 03:18 AM

Six Apart has announced new pricing for MT version 3.0 and I am quite happy with their decision. Having put my money where my mouth is I had already purchased an upgrade. I strongly believe that Six Apart has a long term vision for the product and having programmers on the payroll who are focused and have a team vision.

The Wordpress vultures are still on the prowl commenting on almost all articles about the MT licensing issues. With Six Apart set to fast track improvements to MT it will only be a mater of a few months before the product overtakes and leaves in the dust the remaining competition. [Six Apart]

There more I look at the blogging "market" these days, I see things falling into fairly well defined places--at least in my head. There is a already a well defined split between the hosted services that offer blogging capabilities (Blogger, TypePad, Y! 360, LiveJournal, etc) and the "host it yourself" model. That second group is the ecosystem that MovableType and WordPress currently dominate and I think they'll continue to do so. If you further divide that into "corporate/enterprise" and "personal/non-profit"...

It appears we are just a few days away from a release that will help sites like this one that gets hammered on a daily basis by comment and trackback spam.

I know that 99% of you hate the Typekey registration service and I wish they also could come up with a way to allow comments and not cause all of you to have to go register on another site for permission to post. But until some one builds a better mousetrap we are stuck using Typepad. We thank you for your patience. [MovableType]

Consultants


Open letter to MovableType Developers /
Consultants
12/19/2004 03:42 PM

This note was forwarded through SixApart and should be hitting the Developer Network mailing list or Forums shortly

I am in need of a MT consultant / developer. I have a MT site www.geeknewscentral.com, it is firing on most cylinders but it has a custom CSS that has made it difficult for me to enable dynamic html and make other changes. The designer of the skin has been too busy with her own projects to be able to support us.

I have a small/medium sized budget and I am willing to pay someone to come in look at the layout, and tell me what can be done better or what needs to be brought up to speed. I would like a permanent relationship with someone that I can hire to pay for their time $$$.$$ to keeps an eye on new plugins etc and that I can rely on.

I would do it myself but have too many irons in the fire. If you would be interested in working with us, please send me a e-mail introducing yourself and some links to some of the MT work that you are currently or have done in the past. Included should be your rate scale and any minimums, keep in mind I am looking for a long term relationship in which the consultant/developer becomes a integral part of our team.

The individual must be willing to sign a NDA.

Task that I am wanting completed:

A top to bottom overview of the layout of the site and clean up of any CSS and MT Tags.
Implement several specific changes to the site layout (NDA)
Get dynamic pages working!
Suggestions of plugins that could enhance the site!
Develop a Podcast only blog in line with out current design
Develop 2-3 new skins for new domains (NDA)

If you fit that description and will stick with us for the long haul drop me a e-mail.

Otherwise, left to it's own motivations, the crawler will pull your RSS feed every so often (more often...

Issue!
12/22/2004 01:44 AM

Being a diehard MovableType user we will be upgrading this site tonight to MovableType version 3.14. The stop gap measures put into place by parent company Six Apart looks like a good first step towards fixing the problem that many of us have had to deal with.

I am sure my hosting provider will be happy about the upgrade let's just hope they keep their focus and get a real fix into place so we don't have to force users into registering with their third party authentication service just to leave comments on this web sites.

eWeek has extensive coverage on the issue. [eWeek]

Responding to Anil Dash's request for
even more feedback about MovableType and
SixApart
09/21/2004 01:02 AM
First of all, thank you, Anil Dash, for your patience and willingness to engage in conversation with critics and fans alike. I would also like to agree with you about tone, and to note that I did not help matters with the titles of some of my earlier posts. I think my criticisms were valid, but the tone of some of the titles was uncalled for and unhelpful. Second, I can't believe you have asked me to post more feedback, and are getting me to spend another 2 hours of my life writing about MovableType, something I just said I wouldn't do again. Some would accuse you of feeding a troll, and friends have asked me why I spend so much time worrying about one Weblog / lightweight Content Management System vendor (it's 'cause I like y'all). As I said earlier, we all do have more important things to do. But you (and the Wall Street Journal) asked, so I will try to be brief, constructive and final. Where I am today with respect to recommending SixApart products: I would recommend Typepad to a non-technical person who was trying to start a blog, if they had some aesthetic sensibilities and weren't too price sensitive. Presuming that SixApart can keep up with growth and minimize downtime, it's a nice product, reasonably priced and segmented, and the grouping on Typepad give the author a decent chance of attracting a readership. SixApart does also seem to be adding features to Typepad at a reasonable pace. If someone was price sensitive, I'd send them to Blogger. Blogger's hosting issues seem to be a thing of the past, there are now some nice templates for it, and there are still smart people outside Blogger doing cool things for Blogger. Plus it is free. It is hard for SixApart being in a consumer business where so many of their competitors are giving away their product for free. Maybe it makes sense for SixApart to do B2B only? See below. I would recommend Movable Type for a institution or business wanting to host a corporate blog that didn't have a lot of internal technical expertise. There is good documentation, nice templates, and good support. I don't know if SixApart permits it, but if it does I would recommend that the business start with 2.661 and let the dust settle on 3.x before upgrading. Depending on what the...
