I upgraded to Movable Type 5 today. And the plugin that lets me crosspost to LJ still works. Whew! It's ancient, really really old, and the plugin designer has long since disappeared. Every time I upgrade, I copy the plugin from my old installation to the new one, and cross my fingers that it will still work.
Georg's and my blogs are done now. I still have to upgrade the Divaville Lounge site, and then get started on my friend David's site. Which is the impetus for this upgrade. His site was still on MT 3, and he needs a major update before the 28th, and I wanted to move him to MT 4 so he can upload his own images. And so I decided, what the heck, now is the time to upgrade to 5. Which, now that I've spent half the day working on the MT upgrade and have barely started on David's site, seems like maybe not the best decision.
So far MT5 seems fine, except for one question: What the heck is Zemanta? It installed itself and it seems to do nothing except take up a lot of room on my entry page sidebar. Another one of Six Apart's brilliant ideas I suppose.
