MT-Revision Plugin
If you are a movable type user, you might be interested in my MT-Revision plugin. It saves the "main" and "additional entry" parts of your blog entry, and if you revise those parts of your entry, it saves the revision history. You can then browse the differences between versions.I don't know what was wrong with me the last time I looked at it, but it would appear that everything is working fine for me now -- changes look great!

Mark Pilgrim wrote something like this (http://diveintomark.org/archives/2003/07/18/dive_into_accountability) but it requires MySQL, and my blog doesn't use this.
Damn, I wish we'd had this for the Minnesota for Dean site. It would've really helped with editing on a multi-author blog.

Posted by: Arvind at May 19, 2004 08:06 AMThis is a wonderful plugin; I am using it to keep track of lyric revisions to songs I'm writing.
Suggestion: While diff's format is useful for applying patches and the like, it's a bit unreadable for blogs and human-readable text. Ideally, the plugin would show the unchanged lines as well, not just the context lines, and would hide the sed commands. I'm not sure of the best way to accomplish that, and my Perl isn't up to par for the task...
