Movable Type Content Management System Overview
The world's most powerful and easy to use blog publishing platform.
It's easier than ever to publish and share information with Movable Type. With more than 50 new features, MT4 makes it simple to start a blog, manage entire websites and build an engaged community of readers and customers.
You'll be up and running in minutes with MT4's easy set up. Once it's installed, you'll be prompted to select from dozens of new professionally designed default templates and themes, or to import blog content directly from another blog platform.
MT4's core authoring functions allow you to manage assets with greater ease. A rich web editor offers "What You See Is What You Get" functionality, allowing insertion of not just text, but audio, photos, and other files. And you can easily reuse any of these rich media assets with MT4's new built-in asset management system.
Movable Type 4 offers a powerful summary of your blogging activity via a convenient single screen. Dynamic graphic displays let you see what's happening with your blogs, which content and which contributors are driving conversations, and provides smart starting points for managing your site.
MT4's powerful templating system lets you output content in any format, without requiring any programming or scripting. You can create standalone pages that automatically inherit the design and layout of your blog, and publish any content with the new posting interface, including rich media.
MT4 now offers a powerful built-in registration system, letting you use your own authentication for commenters and users - giving you greater control over who posts what. It's easy to integrate authentication with other platforms and services through OpenID. This industry-standard single sign-on system was pioneered by Six Apart and is currently deployed for over 100 million sites.
With the MT aggregator, you can now easily pull posts from some or all of your blogs into one page for easy viewing. You can present those blogs in even more ways, with expanded options for archiving content by date, organizing content by category or tag, and archiving blog content by author.
