This plugin assists authors, editors and administrators in making sure that all of the links on their blog are still valid and therefore useful to their readers. It works by surfacing an additional list action called "Validate Links" in your Manage Entries table listing. Just select the entries you want to scan and evaluate, hit "Go" and this plugin will produce a simple report about all of the URLs found in the post.
The plugin will scan for all URLs including:
- valid references to embedded images
- outbound links
- frame references
Contact forms are one of the most common and oldest ways in which sites have provided their visitors with a way to contact them. They are preferable to many because using a form obviates the need to disclose an email address. But where many solutions fall short is that the form itself only automates the sending of an email. They offer very little customization and are unable to store submitted form data for searching later.
The Contact Forms plugin for Movable Type provides a comprehensive solution for allowing site administrators to manage multiple ways for their site's visitor's to contact them and ask them questions them questions via a simple form submission. Contact form submissions are then stored in the database and tracked to ensure that every message is replied to, and to make all responses searchable.
Finally, site administrators are given a simple screen on which they can monitor incoming inquiries and respond to them in kind via email.
This plugin allows you to associate locations with blog entries using Google Maps. Each blog entry can have a location (latitude, longitude), and a map can be shown for the location. Also, a map can be shown which displays all of the locations for the entire blog. Locations can be found using addresses or by scrolling the map, so you do not need to find or lookup the coordinates for your location like many other plugins force you to do. Locations can have custom map markers (piks) and custom text inside of the popup map info balloons.

Sometimes re-building a page may fail for various reasons at which time MovableType reports an error. The tags in this plugin allow you to handle errors that occur during the building stage of your pages.
The tags are modeled after the try-catch error handling approach common to languages such as Java and C++. You would enclose the part of template where you want to handle errors into MTExceptionTry tags. If an error occurs while building the page, the MTExceptionTry simply returns an empty string, instead of causing an error. You can optionally specify an MTExceptionCatch block inside your MTExceptionTry block. If an error occurs, the contents of the catch block are displayed.
