I finally managed to get MtProtect working thanks to some help from Levi. KC had pointed out that some of my entries would be better off hidden behind some kind of protection, so I chose MtProtect but had some problems with the installation. I filed a support ticket and the response was good enough for me to solve the problem, except for a headers already sent error. For right now I’m using password protection to hide entries, although MtProtect does also give the option to protect entries from all but TypeKey users on a specified list, and those users of course must be logged in.

There are a lot of other projects I want to get done in relation to my site. I want to switch from categories to tags (globally), clean up my code again, unclutter the sidebar…lots of things to do.

I have updated my Movable Type installation to 3.17, the latest available. I also installed the new Tags plugin, and I’m thinking of going back through 2600+ entries to tag everything. I’m not sure how I feel about transitioning from categories to tags, so for now I’m going to leave both intact. This means that a Tags category has now been established, and all tags will become child subcategories within the Tags category. If I decide to move from categories to tags altogether, I think I can just move the children into the top-level and be done with it. I never did use keywords; perhaps I’ll do better with tags. (I do notice that the alternative entry template isn’t compatible with my QuickPost bookmarklet as I currently have it established, though.)
