I’ve been having problems posting. It seems the server I use is on the point of breakdown when I attempt to post (at least, Movable Type tries to post again and again). In fact, my website was closed for a few hours.
I do have longer things to post, I’m just trying this one without the plugin Textile (which lets me do block quotes) to see if it works any better.
Strictly speaking I’m waiting for a reply from MT as to how much memory MT needs to post and rebuild.
