Here's a fix for how Recent Entries are displayed in Movable Type blogs.
I just installed the MT-Textile, SmartyPants, MTCodeBeautifier plugins for Movable Type. I hope they make creating entries, especially those with code samples a bit easier.
I just upgraded to MT 3.34 from MT3.33. A totally painless experience....
We use Movable Type to look after eight websites including two that are not blogs. If you have a lot of content and it can be categorized and tagged, it probably makes sense to use a content management system like Movable Type.
