Movable Type 3.31
Jul 18
I’ve been using Movable Type for the past few years, but been looking for something else. Since I’m not ready to switch to anything else, I figured I might as well keep up with the current version – which was increase from 3.2 to 3.3(1) past week. This upgrade did remind me why I am [...]
