Movable Type 2.5 is out. I'm running it and it appears to work. It incorporates
many suggestions from Dive Into Accessibility[1], a book which was written in
and is still powered by Movable Type. I find this amusing in a self-referential
The other big change is the inclusion of MT-search to allow users to have their
own site search. Every web site needs a site search[2]. Existing MT-search
users should merge the contents of mt-search.cfg into mt.cfg, change
"TemplateDir" to "SearchTemplatePath", and (if you use alternate templates)
change "AltTemplate1", "AltTemplate2", "AltTemplate3", etc. to "AltTemplate".

Teresa's written a wonderful blog post about the revelation that Tyco's crooked
CEO spent "6,000 on a shower curtain, $15,000 for an umbrella stand, $2,900 on
coat hangers, $5,960 on bedsheets and $2,200 for a wastebasket."
Naturally, they assured her that not only is it possible to pay $6,000 for
your shower curtains and $2,200 for a wastebasket, it's a Good Thing to do
so, practically essential. Then they explain how:
"Sometimes the wastebasket is exposed," said Joel Joves, a designer with
offices in Rancho Santa Fe and Beverly Hills. "If you have a fabulous study
or master bedroom, then maybe we need a pewter-finished basket with
decorative pearl beadings or semiprecious stones to complete the look of a
room."
That's Fool Money at work. If you can't find a sufficiently fabulous
wastebasket for $200, $500 absolute tops, you're not half trying.
