Looking forward to 31 August. A great update for Movabletype is comming. Worth the investment. My upgrade took not much dollar. I was registered donater, my upgrade was 35$ which is now 29Euro. Than there was a beta test discount and I got a credit of $20 which was about 16Euro .. So meaning the upgrade from 2.61 to 3.0 for me did not cost me more than .. As I tell you: it’s worth the investment. Running at my own server from a DSL line I can say I host my domains cheap.

The NL version of Typepad has launched. I wish Maarten Schenk good luck.
As I read information correctly Typepad is for the somewhat more experienced or advanced weblogger .. Mmm but will they pay 60 euro’s a year for that? When they can get if free at 20six.nl or use web-log.nl?

I even wonder if the ‘Dutch’ weblog community will notice this all. Difference between US bloggers and Dutch loggers (in my opinion) is that there are only a few people following the development of weblogs. 90% of what I see is cut and past weblogging: finding entries somewhere else and paste it as a linkdump at the weblog.
I see it daily happen in my scrapedfeeds.com aggegrator.

It’s a pitty you cannot look into future ;-)

European Weblogs can ping the euro.weblogs.com (original purpose)
but now I see that it’s abused by ‘DomainHop‘ Domainhop is submitting a lot of pings from it’s own websites to attrack people.
Title of websites like: learn french kiss will forward you to a domainshop page about cooking and food!
I think I will remove the XML-RPC line in my config. As it give me less joy when a service is abused by others. Any solution for this AC?
