MTClient is a Windows-based desktop blogging client designed for Movable Type weblogs. It has several advantages over the web interface for entering posts:

  • Intuitive, easy-to-use interface is close enough to the web interface as to be immediately familiar
  • Easy text and paragraph markup. Add bold, links, blockquotes, and paragraph alignment quickly and easily.
  • Support for Movable Type all entry fields including:
    • Title
    • Body
    • Extended Entry
    • Excerpt
    • Keywords
    • Multiple categories
    • Comment Status
    • Send TrackBack pings
    • Edit entry date
  • Spell checking (including the title)
  • Edit previously-published entries
  • Offline operation
  • Save posts on your hard drive
  • Manage multiple blogs on multiple sites
  • It correctly converts between the high ASCII characters that choke most other desktop clients and HTML entities. In fact, it has a pop-up (Ctrl-Alt-E) that pastes Latin-1 entities into a message for you
  • File uploads (Ctrl-Alt-U) copies the URL of the uploaded file to the clipboard

MTClient can be downloaded as an installation file or as a zip file. The installation file creates an uninstall. Installation of the zip file can be done by simply extracting it into a directory, and uninstallation can be done by deleting it.
