It is designed to ease maintenance of regularly-updated news or journal sites, like weblogs. It contains features common to many other such systems (hosted locally on your server, template-driven, highly-configurable, permalinks, etc.); in addition, it also includes support for the following features:</p> <ul> <li> Import data -- allows you to import your entries and comments from other content management systems (Blogger, Greymatter, News Pro), then manage those posts through Movable Type. <p></p> <li> Multiple output templates -- enables one-click publishing to multiple destinations and formats: XML RSS headlines from your site, HTML indexes, etc. <p></p> <li> Support for multiple weblogs/journals -- one Movable Type installation can support as many blogs as you wish. <p></p> <li> Support for multiple authors -- register multiple authors, and set their access levels using Movable Type's role-based permissions system. <p></p> <li> Entry categorization -- group your entries into categories for your own reference, for archiving purposes, and for display in your blog. <p></p> <li> Search and replace -- save time by performing a global search and replace on all of your entries; use the search feature to look up a particular entry. <p></p> <li> Multiple archiving options -- create monthly, weekly, and daily archives of your content; individual pages for each entry; and archives by category. Archive file names and URLs are fully customizable. <p></p> <li> Built-in comment system -- allow your visitors to post comments on your entries and engage in conversations. Movable Type supports comments either inline in your blog, or in popup windows; it also allows you to selectively exclude commenting on certain posts. <p></p> <li> Email notification system -- maintain lists of users to whom notification messages can be sent when you post a new entry. <p></p> <li> Integration of file and image uploads -- upload files and images, and seamlessly integrate them into new posts. <p></p> <li> Bookmarklets -- post to your site from anywhere on the web, without entering the Movable Type system. <p></p> <li> Template-based site customization -- combine Movable Type's template tags with standard HTML (or whatever markup language you choose) to build and customize your site. <p></p> <li> Pre-date or post-date your entries -- Movable Type allows you to override an entry's date stamp. <p></p> <li> Delete entries -- Movable Type allows for true entry deletion, allowing you to clean out old or unwanted entries. <p></p> <li> Draft/Publish -- allow for content editorial and approval by setting entries to <code>Draft</code>, then let an editor approve by marking <code>Publish</code>, at which point the entries will be published on your site. <p></p> <li> Publicity and notification -- send XML-RPC pings to weblogs.com and the movabletype.org Recently Updated List. <p></p> <li> XML-RPC API -- implements the Blogger XML-RPC API, allowing you to use existing client tools (w.bloggar, BlogApp) to manage your blog. <p></p> <li> Extensible, library-driven code --if you have experience programming in Perl, you can write custom dynamic applications using the Movable Type libraries. <p></p></ul> <hr size="1" color="#CCCCCC"> <span class="copyright">Copyright © 2001, 2002 Ben Trott and Mena Trott.
