Plugins marked with have been designed for MovableType 3.2 and work with dynamically generated templates. Plugins marked with can be automatically installed using the Plugin Manager. Most of the rest of the plugins here should be MT 3.x compatible, but only work for statically generated templates. However, unless noted, they have not been tested with MT 3.x. Some of the hacks are not applicable to MT 3.0, since they address issues that have been fixed or are implemented differently in 3.0.
