MT 3.0 was announced<\/a>, available for beta testing 1Q04.<\/p>\nMT 3.0 will have a variety of features, some TBA. One major one that will engender much controversy is comment registration, as a response to comment spammers. I’m torn on this one, since I hate to see discussion stifled for the amount of time it takes for registration to take place — but, by the same token, it’s a somewhat effective counter to that sort of problem.<\/p>\n
MT 3.0 is also going to incorporate CSS in its UI, which may mean the ability to point to a site spreadsheet in Preview mode to see what it will really <\/i>look like. <\/p>\n
Further releases of the basic MT are promised, focusing on “more personal features” and stimulated (and delayed) by work done on TypePad, but there are further hints about the long-promised MT Pro, which will be designed around “businesses, organizations, and large content-driven sites.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
