I'm currently (June 2005) in the process of upgrading to MT 3.16 so some of these add-ins may not be current.

Movable Type Awsome blogging software, currently using 3.16. MT-Blacklist Uses filters to block and *easily* mass delete comments and/or pings. MTAmazon To do some of the ads to link back to amazon.com. BlogTimes To do the neat little graph/charts of times when I post. MTMacros To automatically expand some text (it's why PDA is always an acronym and why Heather generally points to Heather's blog on blog posts). Columnize How I get some text to wrap in columns (like my categories and months on the side bar). Compare Some rules for testing conditions (hmmm... I can't find this one, maybe I'm not using it any more). Today/Yesterday A few lines of code I I borrowed from scriptygoddess. scode Asks the captcha "number question" before you can post a comment (cuts down on spam). While I don't use this any more (MT 3.1x and MT-Blacklist seem to be fighting them off), it might be a good solution for you. OverLib JavaScript by Erik Bosrup to show the text when passing over some of the text (like the categories). I don't use this so much anymore but it's still installed for when I do. Weighted Keyword List I started with the code to show those Visual Words Blogged clouds of what you've been talking about. I've modified this to be so specific to my site you'll really want to start with the code linked here.
