Is China’s “Great Firewall” blocking your blog?
By Bitwik on February 26th, 2010 | No Comments
The “Great Firewall” is getting much attention these days. This is because of the Chinese government’s attempt to block much of the free media’s content from their citizens/prisoners. Unfortunately, many sites have been blocked for some time, including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Blogger, TypePad, WordPress and most blog related sites. This is an ongoing effort to keep free speech from proliferating the Chinese government and keeps most citizens at bay under strong control.
Release of Movable Type 5 has been postponed
By Bitwik on December 23rd, 2009 | No Comments
As we near the original release date of Movable Type 5, we are sorry to announce that the date has been pushed back to January 5th 2010. We know this may cause an inconvenience to those that are waiting to release their sites til after the new release. However, those at Movable Type are telling us that it is for a very good reason that they have postponed the release. It turns out that there’s a few bugs that need to be ironed out in order to make MT5 production grade for all users.
Some MT5 fans have been a little agitated by the delay, saying that it would’ve been better to not announce a release date and then put it off. Although true that it is a tad frustrating, the developers have every intention on making this release unlike any other. They also tell us that there are many features that are gong to be included in MT5 that will make this “delay” a thing of the past, not to be remembered. So, let’s patiently await the release of MT5 and all of it’s features, which is scheduled to launch on January 5th 2010.
