Plugin Party!

Okay, I think I've finished installing plugins for MT 3.

Here's what we have:

Plugins we already had on MT 2

Blacklist
Macros
Textile

New plugins for MT 3
Notifier
Koala Rainbow (this looks really cool; can't wait to play with it)
Multiblog
Xsearch/Plus
Conversation Killer (an auto comment-closer)
Bits and Pieces (create your own template tags!)
Markdown & Smartypants
Enclosures (a tool for managing images, sound and video)
W3CValidator (validates your web pages automatically)
DropCap
Compare
DateTags (and MoreDateTags)
CheckLinks (warns you of broken links)
Collect (does... stuff)
Columnize (easy two-columning)
FilterCategories
FirstNWords
GetXML
Glue
LastModified
Loop
TextWrap
PhotoGallery
SimpleComments
AdminLinks
GlobalListings
Oh, and MovableJive, just because.

One of the neat new features in MT3 is a listing of installed plugins, and most of them even have links to the documentation! Not that anyone will ever read it, but it's nice to know it's there.

1 I don't even know what any of these things do but it doesn't stop me from wanting them all! Thanks, Pixy!

Does this mean that we are all moving to MT3?

2 I'm clueless as well but terribly excited!

3 Yay! I have some reading to do to figure out a few of these. KoalaRainbow? FirstNWords? Oh my!

4 RP, we'll be moving one blog at a time, I think. I'll move this weekend, and once that's done I'll have a better idea what's required.

5 What a sweet list... DropCaps, YAY!

6 After having to go back and turn off all the comments on my old typepad site (which I have paid for thru January) the Conversation Killer sounds WONDERFUL!!! Thanks Pixy.

8 Not one of those, but we have a couple of things to help us out there.

First up, TinyOrwell which is a replacement for TypeKey. See my post on MuNuKey.

Second up, I've installed MT3 under the mu.nu domain, rather than as a separate subdomain like blog.mu.nu. I think that this will allow cookies to work the way we want.

9 Just added SomeDays.

10 Oh, and I forgot to mention Outliner.

11 My excitement is only tempered by my ignorance.

Posted by: Simon @ at November 10, 2004 10:13 AM

12 My ignorance is not getting in the way of my excitement in the least! I mean, really, if I ever let it do that I'd probably never get excited about anything blog-related.

Thanks, Pixy!
