In an email that both heralded the best of the season, and let the users of Movable Type know what is up with out favourite blog tool, Ben Trott has also warned us that there is a bad bug in the XML-RPC implementation, and those who use the tool should immediately get up to date. The ways to do this are wither by a full upgrade to 2.65, which includes the mt-send-entry.cgi fix
released about one month ago, and an Atom syndication template(no, no idea what this is). The other option is to just download a zip with a fixed XMLRPCServer.pm and upload this to the server housing the tool. Either way, please, fix your MT installs. As for the next version of MT, the word on 3.0 is "we plan to have a beta release in Q1 of 2004." Yes! Finally!

I think I'm good but I'm not sure?? Ugh! hehe
If the bottom of your MT interface says 2.64, either patch for both the send entry bug and this xml one, or do the quick upgrade.
