Movable Type.org

In the next installment of our on-going series of screencasts that showcase Movable Type 4.0 we decided to present an overview of what is perhaps the single most important screen in the application: the Compose Screen. In this quick four minute walk-through, we demonstrate the many new features found here:

• A built-in Rich Text (WYSIWYG) Editor
• Auto Save and post recovery
• Ability to browse a library of previously uploaded images to insert them into a post
  
• Ability to upload images directly into a post
• A personalizable display of compose screen
• Fully integrated tags support and tag auto-completion
• A suped-up category selection control
• Post scheduling using a handy calendar pop-up
  

One feature that was not demonstrated was the ability to use the Text Editor buttons like bold, italics, underline for your posts formatted in Markdown, Textile and Smartpants, three markup languages that Movable Type now supports natively.
