In a previous post I noted that Joomsayer didn't work for MT 4.1 and onwards. Well that's not the case anymore since there's a new version that works fine. I installed it tonight and although there's no longer a button on the MT Entry interface, just using the blockquote tag will transform the quotes to the Joomsayer style. Make sure you add a link to the Joomsayer for Movable Type page on your own blog on all pages where Joomsayer displays quotation boxes. If you're upgrading from the previous version, be sure to include step 8 in the install instructions.
Here's an example of what it will look like:
To have something quoted as a Joomsayer, simply press the indentation button once over the paragraph to quote. (Hovering the mouse over the button should display the help text: "Begin Blockquote.") This will cause the text to be encoded as a "blockquote" in HTML terms. On publishing, the Joomsayer plug-in scans all top-level blockquotes and automatically converts them to Joomsayer quotes without changing your original entry.
Another plugin worth mentioning is MT WPStats. It's a brilliant way to use your Wordpress api key that you might have had with Akismet. The stats tell you what search terms were used to get to your blog, links that were clicked on your pages, page views, referrers and incoming links. How Chad came about writing the plugins is a good read too.
