WYSIWYG Editing for MovableTypeThe one gripe new users of MovableType have had is that it doesn't have a WYSIWYG editor for post creation. I, personally, don't mind not having one, as I compose all my stuff offline using SharpMT, and like working with code. But many folks like to have the WYSIWYG editor, and many other blogging solutions have it. Heck, Six Apart, the company that makes MT, recently implemented a fancy editor for it's TypePad hosted blogging solution, so why it's not a part of MT is beyond me. Thankfully, MT 3.0 has made it a bit easier to implement a WYSIWYG editor, thanks to its CSS interfaces, and Movalog, an indespensible site for MT hackers, has a great tutorial on how you can implement HTMLArea into your backend. It's still a bit complicated, and SixApart should really make this far easier to do (or just make it part of the main MT install), but at least you can have one, if you so desire. It's now on my To-Do list (which I really need to edit/update). Posted by Jake on 11/08/04 @ 10:21 PM

Are you on that list Jake? I use Ecto to do all my blogging, i cannot remember the reason I used the MT UI to blog. I think this is because of a lack of a good WYSIWYG. I would love to see the TypePad WYSIWYG into MT, I think it should be implemented for paying customers. I think that will be the subject of an upcoming post for me. Jake said on 11/09/04 @ 10:06 AM: Yup, on that list :-). It'd be nice if it were just implemented w/out this much of a pain (and also had the ability to turn it on/off on a per-user basis).
