Finally, my movable type archive and supporting scripts moved to the US for hosting services in Korea did not meet full requirements in some functionalities to enable movable type itself as well as plug-ins that go with movable type 4.1 now and, probably, with future versions. My installation staying in Korea over the last three years moved around one hosting service to the others upon seasonal updates and upgrades whenever available. Supports for movable type users were extremely limited or out of consideration for hosting service business in most cases.
This is largely due to low popularity of movable type in Korea. On the other hand, it's because movable type runs on perl environment that should be platform independent but would be extra module dependent in effect. Core problem came from the fact that most hosting providers would not want themselves to install those extra modules for fear of making their system unstable or going malfunction.
I just gave up negotiating with service providers in Korea to claim to increase quality of service in technical standpoint for movable type. Now, SA certified hosting provider in the US where I am delivers high quality of service to meet system requirement of movable type in perfect. Swift response like flashlight is a plus why I migrated from Korea even at the cost of network response lagging over the Pacific Ocean.
A blog renovation completed just ago. Purchase of professional pack, thought of as one of idiot action by blogging gurus, boosted it accordingly. A combination of the adaptation to MT4.1, brand new features from professional pack, and cutting edge plug-ins available only from MT4.1 made me confused to set up a blog sphere keeping the entry link consistency with new features at my hand. However, the fact that I paid for commercial software for the first time in my life gave me more inspiration to maximize its functionality. Big changes include,
- Application of Universal Web Templates from professional pack to incorporate non-blog web pages which used to exist in form of external links from blog
- Installation of Action Streams plug-in to trace events from elsewhere
How about a new face of kokeb.net?
