Blog File Names

Published on 15 May 2006 in , ,

After months of thinking about it, I finally got round to setting the file names that Movable Type publishes out, to be truncated if they get too long. This is no bad thing given that before, URLs were based on the full post name, and some of them got very long. It wasn’t too much hassle to get it all sorted, and the redirects in place, but it does leave me with some rather odd file names, including one post which now becomes bye_bye_the_bra.live… On the plus side, truncation is an option – as is setting a custom file name…

Moving The Type

Finally decided to leave the world of Movable Type v2.661 behind and embrace the world of version 3.2. It has a nicer interface after all, and plugins are good.

Corrections and Clarifications

Given the PR disastor that surrounded the launch of Movable Type 3, it's perhaps not surprising that there have been some 'clarifications' (or backtracking, depending on whose opinion you read) about the new licensing.
