including Meg,
Derek,
Matt
pb, Jack,
and other Matt single-handedly popularized the Bloggin’ phenomenon.</edit> What’s he got up his sleeve? I don’t think I saw anything about pinging weblogs.com, but I did see a future feature to include RSS. Anyone try it out yet?

New features:
Spellchecking
Title Fields
Image Posting
Post to the Future (or the Past)
Draft Posts
BlogSend
Post Templates
Secure Logins
Better Internationalization

More features are coming. Oh, I can hear you guys asking if I am going back to Blogger. No, I’m very happy with MT. If Ev invites me to test and write a review, I will.

    I’m new to all of this blogging, but I played a bit with Blogger, Greymatter, and one or two others, and I LOVE Movabletype. I’ll have to check out Blogger Pro though, at least for my curiosity (no plans on changing.)

    Thanks for the heads up – I always like hearing about new things in the blogging world. I, too, am WAY happy with MT, but I think this is a cool option for people still using Blogger :)

    Just a short correction: Ev most certainly did not start “the Bloggin’ phenomenon”. Blogger had a lot to do with making weblogs popular (as did Manila, Slashdot, LiveJournal, and MeFi), but Blogger was a team effort, designed, built, and maintained by a team of seven, not just one person. To say that one person had that much of an impact on weblogs is grossly overstating things.

    You’re absolutely right, Jason. I didn’t mean to slight the most important contributions of Meg, Derek, Matt, and so on.

    I think I was thinking from a Blogger product perspective and associated him with it. My mistake.

    Why not use Blogger? Two words: no comments feature (OK, that was three words, but forgive me)
