So now that I’ve got Movable Type 4 running on here and the basics are working, I now need to get the bells and whistles that I had previously back up and running.

• Smilies are now working in entries and comments .
• I’ve fixed the issues with OpenID/TypeKey comments that appear when you preview your comment by updating the JavaScript used to MT4′s version (and not a cannibalised version of the MT3 defaults like before)
• At my end, I’m not receiving email confirmation of comments when they’re posted, even though I should be and did before the upgrade. Not quite sure what’s up there. Update: Just received one, so either it’s a fluke or they’re magically working again.
• You may not be able to comment anonymously on some recent entries because the comment challenge box isn’t there – that’s because I forgot about it until late last night and didn’t rebuild everything. Yes, I still use static pages for entries.
• The purpose of the sign-in link isn’t very obvious – it doesn’t make it clear from the outset that you can sign-in with OpenID or whatever. I’ll fix this with some images.

I would have kept a shorter version of this as an addition to the previous entry, but Google Reader doesn’t show updates to posts and so quite a number of you wouldn’t see it. To be fair you’re probably not interested anyway but nevermind.
