We have upgraded our version of Movable Type to 3.3. What does that mean for our rather fresh and young PSTCC blogger community? Glad you asked!
From the Six Apart Website:
New Features in Movable Type 3.3:
Tags: Describe your entries with tags so readers can easily find any content and subscribe to custom feeds.
Widgets: Arrange and manage your page just by dragging and dropping. Widgets can include your own content or content from other web services and feeds.
Activity Feeds: Reduce the burden of managing your blog by getting all the updates on comments and feedback on your blog, along with your blog’s activity, delivered via a secure custom feed.
New Blog Styles: Customize the look of your site with just a few clicks, without editing any HTML. Choose from dozens of unique designs and layouts.
We’ll be learning more about these new features as well. Stay tuned!
