The MTAmazon site is now running MT. It’s quite amazing to me that a free service like SourceForge would provide CVS space, download servers and bandwidth, AND Web hosting that supports MySQL and Movable Type.

The immediate impact of this change to you readers is that there’s now a TrackBack enabled list of MTAmazon example sites. If you are using MTAmazon on your site, you can send a TrackbackPing to http://mtamazon.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/mt-tb.cgi/1 or fill out the TrackBack form. The most recent 20 additions to the list show up right on the main MTAmazon page. The rest of the list is archived on the Example Sites page.
