Everitz Consulting

At Everitz Consulting, our speciality is working with the Movable Type and TypePad content management systems, and we'd love to have the opportunity to show you what we can do.

In addition to installation and upgrade services for Movable Type, we have developed numerous plugins for the software and we even have extensive experience customizing and extending the platform itself, if plugins don't do it for you.

If you are looking for a hosted solution, we can help you get your site up and going on TypePad, whether this is your first time and you are using the basic templates or need some help switching to advanced templates and all the power that the system has to offer.

Regardless, our ultimate goal is your complete satisfaction. We will not pick up and leave the instant that the current project is complete, nor will we leave you in a lurch wondering what is happening while your deadline approaches.

If you are interested in developing a relationship rather than just writing another contract, we look forward to working for you.

After the success of the Allison Rodgers Photography Blog on TypePad, I really didn't know what to expect. As luck would have it, that success continued. To begin with, the ARP blog has been featured on the TypePad homepage (I linked to the ARP story there, just in case TypePad decided to rotate their images). After that, however, I had a number of requests from people on TypePad. It's really amazing that there are so many photography-focused blogs on TypePad. I never would have imagined!

In any case, though I've had quite a few requests, a number of them are still in the investigation or planning stages, but one of them has actually rolled out some changes: The Gigi Photography Blog. Gillian - Gigi herself - contacted me about making some changes similar to those made at ARP. Namely, she liked the drop-down menus that we had put into place, as well as updating the sidebars to make some more room for her photo content and we even included the comments right on the home page and the other entry listing pages (the monthly archives, since she doesn't have categories on her blog).

I have a thought on how to fix the category issue with MT-Notifier (where you have to save it in unpublished mode with categories, then publish it before saving in published mode). But I need a couple people who can check it out. You're welcome to try it if you have a lot of subscribers, but it's probably best if you don't have too many, just in case. Nothing should break, but I'm curious if we can get it to work without having to worry about if you have to save in unpublished mode first. Let me know if you're interested.

• Fixed a problem with an undeclared variable in Notifier.pm.

Licensed users can re-download from the links provided.

The download file for MT-SmugMug was hosed, and returning a server error. This has been updated, so you should be able to get it. Sorry about that (and thanks for the heads-up, Su!).

• Update logic (again) for correct alphanumeric photo ID.

Recently I helped Allison and Jeff Rodgers update several items on their TypePad-powered blog, Allison Rodgers Photography. Today, I found out that they have been included as a featured blog.

Congratulations, Allison and Jeff - that's great news!

Is it because of what we added to the site? That I can't say - but it never hurts to update the look of your site, so if you're in the market for some changes to yours, whether powered by TypePad or not, let me know how I can help, and let's see if we can get your blog some attention as well!
