ewoksrule Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 I have been thinking about creating a weblog for a while now and Movable Type seems to be a highly recommended software. I cannot seem to find the answer to my questions on their site. You guys have such quick response I thought I'd ask. I am planning to head to Italy for school for 3 months. I will be leaving my cable modem behind and having to rely on 56k modem overseas and possibly internet cafes as well. Are the uploads on MT fairly quick, or will I be in for a long wait? Do I need to be connected to the internet to add more to my journal? Will MT allow me to enter a few entries on my laptop and then when I connect upload them? Thanks so much for your responses. Ewok
TCH-Rick Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Updating is pretty quick so I don't think you would have any problems. I use a program called w.bloggar which allows you to create an entry offline and then post it. It is a great addition and I think would be even more useful when on dial-up.
ewoksrule Posted August 1, 2003 Author Posted August 1, 2003 Wow, That seems to be exactlly what I was looking for. I downloaded and tried it with the test account on blogger. Seems perfect for what I was needing. Of course it is even better that it is freeware. Thankyou for the recommendation. I look forward to starting my page now. regards, ewok
ZeroGravX Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 I use b2 from cafelog.com, I find that it is the easiest to install and fastest blogger. I also use w.blogger to update it and it makes posting that much faster. I also like b2 more than movable type because b2 is completely written in PHP and uses MySQL for the more security, if you haven’t already started using movable type I would suggest b2 instead Oh yeah and did I mention it's free (Open Source)
ewoksrule Posted August 2, 2003 Author Posted August 2, 2003 Now why did you have to do that? I had just decided on MT after looking at enough peoples websites, and then you go and recommend another software that looks great as well. Heheh. Now I have to reconsider this, because I really like some of the pages created with b2. Seriously though, thanks for the recommendations. In regards to b2, do you happen to know a good site that has guides or tutorials? There does not seem to be much info on b2's main site. Hmm, maybe the forum there is the best place for me to look. well thankyou again, I am off to read more about weblogs. ewok

TCH-Thomas Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Welcome to the forum, antisexy. While the script mentioned might be dead, this thread is nearly 4 years old so I am closing this thread.
