SixApart just announced some great new features to TypePad, their hosted weblog service:
“Weblog owners now have the option to turn on default comment moderation for all posts made to any of their weblogs. With comment moderation turned on, new comments will not be visible to the public until they have been approved by the owner.”
I’ve already played with some of these new features on my blog and they work really well. It also has a cool comment preview feature where you can read comments without clicking to go anywhere — very useful in getting rid of spam.
MovableType 3.2 Features
I’ve heard some rumors about the next version of MovableType being completely rewritten using PHP, but it’s just that, a rumor. It may or may not be true (I’m hoping it is, cause damn that’d rock!) so we’ll have to wait until it’s out to tell for sure.
If you want to see what kind of cool things are included in the next version of MT, check out this weblog entry over at 6A’s website. Make sure to click through to all the cool ProNet weblog articles too.
Anxious to get your hands on the next version? I heard another rumor that very, very soon we will all be able to get our hands on a public beta. Maybe even tomorrow…
