Possible Minx Feature
Pixy,
Apparently this doesn't exist in Movable Type, but it would probably be useful to the sysadmin to be able to broadcast a message to all blogs simultaneously.

I think that's a pretty swell idea, Ted. It merits some further-lookin'-into in my book, anyone else agree?

...And if creating a "post that needs to be deleted" isn't ideal, then maybe some sort of "message inbox" that is difficult to ignore that would serve the same purpose?
Email can be overlooked, but if it ("it" being this "inboxy thing") is in close proximity to the link/button you'd click to create/edit/post an entry, then maybe it would work.
If you have a box that says, "You have a message", it tends to make the user feel pretty special and loved - making it hard to resist reading it
hehe
(...waiting for Pixy to say he's already done all this in some fashion hehe)

Yep!
The next feature I was going to work on was private messaging. Look for it next week.
As Kyer notes, we have to get people over to Minx so that the messages hit them in the face when they log in.
Hmm.
Okay, as soon as the user interface is at least partly working, I'll pull a switcheroo so that the existing login page takes you to Minx first, with a link from there to the MT system.
That should do the trick!
