Movable Type 4

Movable Type 4b

On the 5th of June 2007 Six Apart released Movable Type 4. Movable Type 4 is the long awaited beta update of the fabulous blogging tool from Six Apart.


Metis Internet Partners have been customising, developing and supporting Movable Type for the past three years. We are very excited about the new developments at Six Apart. New features include:

  • A completely reinvented user interface with a dashboard overview of how all of your blogs are doing
  • Support for publishing standalone pages and managing file assets and images right within MT
  • Brand-new community features like OpenID and a built-in user registration system
  • Redesigned component architecture that makes MT faster and more scalable than ever before
  • Open source version with its home at a completely relaunched community site that revives an old, beloved URL: movabletype.org.

Six Apart has learnt a lot from its other blogging projects and platforms:

  • Typepad
  • Livejournal and
  • Vox

And is bringing this knowledge plus overwhelming community demand into its development agenda.


As we have turned the blogging platform Movable Type into a user driven and managed content management system we are very excited about the new possibilities that this beta release offers.
