This is my contribution to the informal survey started by Six Apart about the ways people are using Movable Type in the real world. It is rare enough to see a company listen to its users so quickly and be wiling to make changes where other companies would just have ignored the outcry and told everyone to just live with it.<\/p>\n
So… how are we using MT ?<\/p>\n
Not as frequently or as extensively as I would like I am afraid. <\/p>\n
We are using 2 blogs with 2 authors (my brother and myself). Each blog is made up of a main blog and a secondary one to keep track of lists of links. <\/p>\n
I also customized a couple of templates in the source code itself to replace the default editor by an HTML embedded editor (FCKedit). This is not working a 100% (still getting odd \ufffdtimeout\ufffd messages from MT from time to time on long entries) but it is enough to get the job done.<\/p>\n
I would not mind paying for a personal license as long as it covered more than 1 author (I can see that being a recurring theme on blogs shared by multiple members of the same family) and allowed tinkering with the source code.<\/p>\n
I really hope this survey will result in changes to the terms of licenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
